Shown below is the procedure to manually start an active DPF regeneration.  This is not required under normal circumstances.  Use VCDS to enter the engine module as shown earlier.  Click on "Security Access" and enter the security code 12233.  Go back to the screen below and click on "Long Adaptation".

Click "Up" or enter 13 in "Channel" to get to channel 13 - DPF Regeneration.  The value for active regen is 0 for off.  Enter 1 in the "New value" box highlighted below and click "Save".  This will start the active regen.  The test conditions are: the vehicle must be driven between 80-120 kilometers per hour and no shutting off the ignition.

The screen will show calculated and measured soot loading in the DPF before and after the last active regen.  Note - 2010 and later appear to have changed their electronics and as of this writing, VCDS software shows milliliters loading as 0 and never moves.  Soot load calculated and measured also show 0.  2010 TDI don't have label files yet and because the values never move, I don't believe it shows any actual values in this screen.
