DPF Status

Does it really matter to keep revs up when it's doing a regen?
I'm reading different opinions.

My regens take about the same time, very time. About 7 minutes.
Wether I'm driving down the highway at 120kph, with a hot engine and enough revs, or when the engine is still not fully warmed up and without touching the gas pedal. After each regen you can feal and hear the heat in the exhaust system.

My car does a lot of regens, but I do a lot of short trips as well.
It even starts doing regens when the car is not fully warmed up yet, and also when i'm almost without gas on my way the the gas station which is very annoying. Also noticed it starts the regen very often when I use my sport button. I only use sport mode max 10% of the time but half of my regens start when in that mode. Strange

Since I installed the DPF light I only had to cancel a regen twice. 1 time I think it was about 80% done, the other time it just started and I didn't want to wait. Next time I jumped in the car it started the regen again right away.

There you have my experience with it Love the DPF light, haven't had a problem since.
