Blooming heck! That is one heck of P&P rate.
Their postal service must be having more problems than the Post Office!
Sorry for late reply,, night time down here...I didn't have to change anything. Just plug in and run led light wire. Handy to be able to know how much soot is there, just by 1 press of button , then counting the bips...1 bip per gram. I am sure you will be happy with it.
Any questions I had were answered by CreativeOBD. Cheers
Update!
I don't see enough updates with resolutions to DPF issues, so thought I'd post one!
Decided to fork out on a garage that specialises in DPF faults. They diagnosed one of the temp sensors was throwing up crazy values and throwing off the ECU. It was showing 700c one sec and 100c another. Been replaced now (can't believe how much OEM temp sensors are..) and had a DPF removal and clean, to start fresh. They did a couple of road tests and showed me the data, regen is a good 15-20mins now.
Hopefully that's the end of it and I can start enjoying the van finally. After thousands down on this (and other tlc since purchase) it's got some serious making up to do!
Thanks all for your helpful advice.

Reading back through your posts you mentioned the DPF wasn't getting hot enough when driving so wondering if that sensor was affected by the vehicle movement.
Did they give you a part number for the replacement sensor?
Great outcome and brilliant to see you posted back. Nice one.

I checked, but it's not on the invoice. Will shoot them a message and check
Noticed in the cold weather if I do a short journey then let it idle it and it's doing a regen after a while it's stops the regen but then when I go out again on a run it finishes it off. Is this normal ? Always finished the regen just don't know if the ECU knows it can't keep the temp in dpf at idle so waits til on a run?
Yeah I have always found this. From memory it will attempt regen twice for 15min periods and if it doesent complete it will give up. Revs go back down to normal etc. But when you set off again and go over 2000 revs it will kick back in to finish what it was doing.
If it repeatedly fails over a long period (I find 90mins worth of attempts) eventually it will kick on your DPF light as a warning. If it continues to fail for around 120mins of attempts it will go flashing glow plug, EML light and limp mode.
Not sure. I had the van 18 months it's a 2017
Maybe ask VW if they can update. There are a few improvements but regen is way better.
Unless its been mapped as the new software will over write it.
Or search on here how to find out. I can’t remember.
