So does mine. I can tell immediately that it’s doing a regen. Don’t need to see it tickover at 1000rpm.

I have a question or two. I have an old t5.1 CFCA 180 BiTDI (DSG 4motion). Retro Resus fitted a new DPF in 2023 and blanked and mapped the EGR and watched the oil consumption rise over the next few months. Spring 2024 new VW create engine, turbos, flywheel etc. 8k miles now on the clock and multiple oil and filter changes running in. Now changing after every 5k miles.
So on a run the DPF is doing regens every 150~200 miles (217 miles max), around town which is not very often, is about 100 miles plus.
Question I have is it seems very reluctant to regen in any situation except blasting down the A3 or M4, I was wondering being a 4motion is the dpf that much further away from the engine so doesnt really get hot enough to kick in, just a thought. A couple times recently it has failed to regen and then hit 101% in the DPF app, and until I took it for a blast. What do you all think? Paranoid? Problem is also around here the traffic is horrendous so trying to go for a blast is a late at night thing really
