That's exactly what I had done a couple of years ago. Done maybe 20k miles since. DPF regens are currently about 150 miles local driving and 225 on a long run.
3 hours since the last regen' sounds a long time to me? Especially given the alleged condition of the DPF.
Do you take a lot of short journeys or regularly run with the fuel at 1/4 of a tank or less? (which disables regens).
When you say the regens are like clockwork - is that a certain mileage since the last regen or after, say, 20 minutes of driving each time?
My T6.1 150PS also regens about 3 times per tank and, yes, it burns fuel when it is doing it but it does start when it is at 30g and burns down to 8.5 or 9g...
This is the problem, this is the worst case profile for a modern Euro6 diesel.
You have no control over when a regen happens, it's not like the engine will notice you are doing a long trip and think "oh well I'll get a regen in now".
Instead what is going to happen is that when the regen is...
Hi I’m getting regens happening too often .. like three times in one week !
It seems worse since a recent visit to the garage . The revs the hideous stink it’s so annoying …
I’m doing a lot of short journeys yes but as it’s getting on my nerves so much I’m taking longer routes where I can get...
Do you think yours is an outlier or that they all do that? Read on here recently that a regen uses an additional 0.9l of fuel, so without a minimum fuel level, a regen could see you stranded at the roadside.
6.1’s are well known for the ‘oil level too high’ error due to regens not being completed.
I loosely watch mine get to 95% accumulation and then keep a closer eye on it once the regen takes place.
That is annoying.
Can you convert to metric in Carista settings?
They usually start to regen around 30g which is about (1.05 oz - uk) down to about 9g (about 0.3 oz )
So it's done it's first regen now, it was at 265km and 24g on my carista seems to kick it off
Went through the regen very quickly I thought, less than 10 miles on the dual carriage way I think
The DPF Monitor App above shows you the miles and minutes since last regen BUT it resets both to 0 once you complete a regen, so if your current regen has completed that'll be no use to you in this situation.
