Hi all.
Although not new to desiel engines I am new to DPFs. I was under the impression that a DPF has two ways of clearing out the soot. Passive and active.
Passive being when the car is driving at a steady speed and over a certain revs.
Active being a forced regen when the soot concentration exceeds 45 percent.
The issue (or my stupidity) is that my car doesn't seem to be passive regenerating.
My drive to work consists of a 37 mile drive with 36 miles of that being motorway. The times that I drive normally mean there isn't much traffic and I'm able to keep to 72 mph in 6th.
I've got a little app (there's always a app) on my phone which connects to a obd reader and although I haven't had much time to investigate the soot levels build when driving and only decrease after a active regen.
Is this correct?
There are no codes or errors popping up.
