DPF Filters

My sister had a merc c220 cdi. she was always at the dealers having this done and they blamed it on her driving too economically. (not giving it a boot!)

Doesnt the old italian tune up fix this prob if its done regularly?

Not quite what we did on the dyno's when running on non-auto regen code but pretty close! In the real world when your paying for your engine......

was in the paper yesterday a blokes jag, his dpf blocked up a few times and the dealers blammed him for his plodding around driving 

my uncles got a 2 litre tdi mk6 golf and that's happened 3 times now. 1st time we sent back to vw as we plugged it in on the diagnostics at work and 1 of the pressure sensors was gone, making it go into limp home mode.

think someone told me it was on watchdog a couple weeks back aswell, people saying they buy a fiat 500  for cheap economical running but the dpf is forever blocking up hahaha

A mate of mine has a 57 plate 170pd. I has to do an emergency regen for him to get it of limp mode. He didnt realise he had to drive differently when the DPF light came up.
Luckily it was arount 97% when it was regened, but after 10 mins of driving as instructed the light cleared and all was ok. He keeps complaining the light comes up too regularly. But its obviously the type and style of driving he does, but it shouldnt be a factor.
