Just for confirmation 20 miles isn't my longest trip. As I have stated earlier I've done a 140 mile trip loaded car and it's done a regeneration as soon as I've stopped. The fact is its starts a regeneration and I drive it until it's cleared out in auto stop start functions and the fans no longer runs which should mean the regeneration has finished and then as little as 140 miles later it doing another regeneration. Must be a fault surely!!

This is my first Skoda and could well be the last. The type of driving seems to make no difference to the intervals for regeneration at all. I can do a 20 mile run booting it engine well warmed up and just before you stop it starts a regeneration. You know it's happening as mine begins to run rough almost feeling like it's going to backfire which I assume is the change in fuel mixture. Absolute rubbish.

Took the car back to the dealer and they carried out a forced regen. I've done a bit of mixed driving for a few days and its done another regen after approx 180 miles which seems to have been completed as the fans didnt run on after a blast out and oil temp was well over 100deg but its now got fans running on again after only 30 miles surely this means the passive regen isn't working properly?

This sounds exactly the same as mine. Its as if the passive regeneration from long runs isn't working so it automatically goes into an active regen. I've driven 140 miles at motorway speeds and then it does a regen the next day, surely the soot levels would be lower and you'd have to do a few days of stop start driving before a regen would be required.

Manual car just over 6k miles and its been doing this from the day I got it. It doesn't show any faults according to dealer and I've tried Shell, BP, Asda, Tesco, Esso, Morrisons,and Total without any difference and even added Millers Ecoboost. 2.0TDI VRS Estate

I think they're active regens as the fans are running on for 10mins after I've switched the ignition, increased idle speed of and the auto stop start doesn't operate while the regen is happening. I try to let the regen finish when I'm driving but if not take it out for a run next day. I've done 40 mile trips at 70mph jumped in the car 2 hours later and its started a regen which have been separated by as little as 100 miles. Sportsbilly. Passive regens should occur while driving normally under load 1800 rpm ish. Active regen the ECU software takes control and starts a regen automatically.........I think

My VRS is doing what I believe to be active regenerations at very short intervals as low as 100miles apart with 70% of this done at motorway speed. Has anybody fad a similar problem? Sportsbilly

Its not getting better but getting worse. Did a 70 mile round trip on Wednesday and it regened in the middle. I've done 100 miles since of which 65miles on the A19 at 70 mph and its regened again?

Hi, Just wondering if I'm going mad but I have a Octavia MK3 VRS diesel that no matter what kind of driving I do either in town or motorway does an active regeneration every 180 miles and its driving me crazy. Anyone had anything similar? Sportsbilly
