Dpf question

[Neal_1974]

I had my ecoflex for just over 2 years and never once saw cleaning exhaust message and it was a year old when I brought it. I did 47k miles in it in total

I lot of motorway miles mind including a 2500 mile trip to south of france

Mine has been mostly around town since my wife can't drive at moment. It hasn't come up before when it has done a regen so it must be a change in the software.

That could be true, dpfs seem to be an ongoing concern on all cars, there’s a lot on the net/YouTube for all manufacturers

Had this motor just under four months, just over 3000 miles covered. It had 38000 on the clock when I bought it. I've never noticed a regen, never noticed on my last motor either.
I travel up to a Village near Market Rasin, (Lincs) to see my daughter. That includes a good few miles up the A46 when I run the engine at over 2000 rev's. just in case.
I also stick a tin tent on the back and that gives the engine a good workout. Get just under 32 mpg not bad.

From may 2018 exhaust fitted with DPF emits visible smoke of any colour will be M O T failure.
