      They must really have improved things on the new model. I have had several diesels with dpf including a 2016 Audi A6 and never got anywhere near that distance between regens. The Audi was around 450 miles even though it was doing longer journeys.
      I've had Insignias for over 5 years, my last A facelift 163 was the same. Every 2 to 3 k miles

          I found out how to do a forced regen without a diagnostic tool or computer. Is so simple to and you only need one item to do it to.

          1) Go to the supermarket
          2) Find the fruit and veg isle
          3) Get a 3” diameter banana (Fyffes work best)
          4) Pay for the banana
          5) Go out into the car park and warm up your engine (revving to the red section and holding it gets it warmer quicker)
          6) Switch off ending and shove the banana up your tail pipe
          7) Start car up again and go for a spirited drive (wheel spinning and tyre smoke help here to)
          8) Wait until banana has shot out the exhaust
          9) Forced regen complete

          Don’t ask me how this works but it does (something to do with fooling the DPF pressure sensor I guess). Try it next time you go super market.

            2013 2 litre Diesel. Varies between 250 to 500 miles. Usually the higher figure during the winter months when the air is cooler\more dense therefore giving a slightly cleaner burn.

                        The rear heated rear windscreen icon apears in the top consumer menu.
