  • Signs of dpf regen

    2010 Insignia 2.0 158 Ecoflex

    How can I tell when it's doing a regen?

    Increased fuel consumption, rear window heater turned on without the indicator light.

        Car sitting at 1k revs after a drive when idling is a good telltale

        Also cars fans will be running and there will be a smell (apparently, I've never smelt it but my sense of smell is rubbish)

          The side mirrors start removing moisture for no reason :P (They're on the same circuit and will come on too)

              Where's that? Lol

              I'm pretty sure it just did a regen; got home and it was using 0.4 gal/hr at idle, instead of 0.2, so I took it for a bit more of a drive. Ended up sitting in traffic, but it seemed to complete anyway. Is that how it should work?

                Light smoke comes from underneath when you pull up on mine, plus fan is running and higher tick over, doesn't happen often round town due to doing regular long distance runs.

                  I've not got my A any more, but it's one of the menus in the central display {the one between the speedo and rev counter).

                    I've only found two menus there - the one with tyre pressures etc, and the one with speed/distance/mpg. Switch between them with the button on the indicator stalk. Is there another I've missed?

                      Hmmm. Anyone with a 2010 model available to answer this?

                        Just install LED dpf regen indicator and you will be fine, Google it

                          I've got a 2009 model and don't have the "top consumers" menu. But then again, I have the anti-ecoflex model

                            I'm just trying to work out if I have to, or if it's there somewhere already.

                              Extract from 2012 user manual (page 101) - seems like 'top consumers' menu may only be available in higher spec models? Have you tried selecting 'eco' by pressing the 'menu' button then twisting the left stalk?
