Recently purchased a '19 plate t6 2litre t32 kombi van and not sure what proportion of very short journeys I can do before dpf problems occur-I realise from reading handbook that when dpf light goes on I need to give it a good run. Never had a dpf before so would appreciate hearing others experiences-good and bad. Many thanks.
Dpf Advice?

Make sure you always have at least a 1/4 tank of fuel or the regen won’t happen
I didn’t know this ! Very interesting
Yip, fuel warning light on = no active regen.
It’s difficult to give advice as our driving styles, daily mileage and circumstances are all different. I have had cars with a DPF since 2007, and have never had any problems, but each car always had a decent motorway/A-Road run at least once a week. The car that I notice doing regens most is our Euro6 Skoda, but no issues.
I certainly wouldn’t wait until the DPF light comes on though - try and get in a decent run once a week if the T6 is used daily.
Based on this forum, it feels there are more Euro6 DPF issues than Euro5. Our T6 is Euro5.

Long runs and good fuel, and i've never had any DPF issues with any of my vehicles.
'Really helpful' post Dellmassive-thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to give me this info. Have a great Christmas!
