DPF REGEN LIGHT

[Rusty2009]

What I have particularly noticed is the start/stop rarely kicking in the last few weeks, often a sign of a dog regen.

I need to do an oil change too, it's a bit overdue as a result of a stripped sump bolt :s

Stop/Start not kicking to me would be more a sign of low battery charge caused by short trips. I wouldn't connect it to the DPF at all remember there is a big list of factors also for stop/start to work (If it's doing a regen then it won't but that would be only time you could link it to the DPF.)

I wouldn't say it's coming to the end of its life.

It could the sign of a sensor starting to fail (if it's doing more regens in quite a short period of time).

I see,i will keep that in mind , mine regens between every 50 to 150 km for short journeys and upto 600km on motorway or long journeys. I am using deisel additive on a regular basis archoil AR6200, it did help with the car responsiveness and overall throttle level  but not sure if it is helping with dpf cleaning .

That's working pretty much normally then (or at least the same with mine) Over the last year my car has done mostly motorway miles Bournemouth to Harrogate & back with the last 2 runs being Bournemouth to Leconfield & back with not very much town use 1st run she did 2 regens going up and 1 coming home 2nd run she did 1 regen coming home, 3rd trip no regen, 4th a Regen coming home & it seems to be around 6-700miles she now does a regen.

Before with mostly town work it would regen every 50-100miles.
