I'll take really long extension lead.

Most of my journeys have been short but I have never had the DPF warning on

Neither have I, but the bloody thing does a Regen every 80 miles!

nearly 200 miles covered and no noticeable regen yet... so the race is on now for a regen or a warning light to happen first

 

[PukkaT6]

I have not noticed a regen after 900 miles lol

Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question but what is a Regen?

 

[rmo69]

@PukkaT6 probably why your DPF light came on

 

[rmo69]

@Mfwic a regen is about the most annoying thing about owning a T6 with a EURO VI engine is what it is. If you search for it at the top it there's tons of stuff about it.

A hateful modern diesel thing; they have filters that catch emissions cack (think; putting a net over a turd pipe); they need heat to clear them.
Should you commit the heinous crime of driving short distances so it can't heat up it does it anyway by "forcing" (when you've switched off) a heat up and a violent fan, it stinks and sounds like the van will blow up.

It also provides free underfloor heating when it's 40 degrees as we found out in Portugal.

No light, no obvious regens, it was obviously winding me up for a laugh.

 

[YESBOY]

Why can't VW plug into the laptop and tell me when the last regen was ffs I'm sick of getting home after a 50 mile journey and it starts as I park on my drive
I can feel the heat along with the smell
I'm sure that v class is calling ....!!!!

So, first regen at 650 miles. I was stood on my drive wondering when the thing was ever going to stop!
Unexpected, cause I just did a 70mph (ish) blast down the M5 for 25 junctions 2 days ago.
Today was the 1st day it had done 2 or 3 short journeys though - so guess there's a link.
