Hello. I'm a bit confused on what Bosch wipers I need. Most places (including here) say A860S. That's even what Amazon say I need. But The ones Amazon show me say LHD only - is there a difference? https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00W1KKY6M

65 plate VRS. It still has DPF issues - which I'll assume are unrelated and we just need to get that replaced when it finally gives up. We've had the Glow plug with the sensor replaced a few weeks back due to a warning light. But we've been having a few weird issues lately: Aircon seems to just stop blowing cold air and has started to blow warm damp air. But if you slow down, say going into a 50 zone, or change down a gear then it seems to kick back in and blow cold again. Maybe it just needs re-gassing? The rear wiper seems to come on much much more frequently when it's raining. This weekend the front wiper on auto would ramp up to max speed over a few cycles even though there was only a few drops of rain (no where near enough to be more than a wipe every few seconds). And when I stopped they didn't park themselves. We have it booked in on Friday, but wondered if anyone had any guesses?

Thanks for the insight - I'll take it out tomorrow and try and clear the warning, and then see what the garage says. There's no other DPF warnings when they've looked previously, but I don't know if they've specifically looked at the load data. Any idea on the cost to replace the DPF on this? Is that even viable.

It's around 2000rpm - so I know not enough to force the regen, now that I have the warning light. But is that really how this is supposed to work in normal day to day use? I would have assumed a normal long drive at motorway speeds would be what is expected during normal operation? I understand if I did lots of short trips then I'd need to do something different to compensate for that, but if I cleared this warning and drove for an hour and half that dpf warning would come back on.

I didn't - I had a car full, and was tired (5 days on a boat on the broads and I just wanted to get home). I plan on doing that tomorrow to see if it clears the warning. I assumed a pretty consistent 70mph for hours would be enough; is that wrong and it will always need a high-rev 30 minutes? The car has regular long trips (the weekly shop is the only real short trip it does), and it always throws this error at an hour and a half - could it be a sensor/electrical issue; or do I just need to rev it out every now and then?

We've got a 65 plate VRS (~150k miles), and having constant issues with the DPF regen. After an hour and a half of motorway driving we get a DPF warning (I can't remember the message). If we stop at a services then the light goes away and we can drive for another hour and half before it shows up again. Yesterday we drove for 5 hours (mostly motorway/dual carriage way). The light came on and we didn't stop; we then had the coil light flashing and have an engine warning light stay on. No obvious loss of power, so we're not in limp mode. This happened once before; the garage read the code and it was something like too many failed regen attempts. So we were told to take it for a 30 minute drive and keep it 2500+ rpm and that cleared the warnings. Is this the end of life for our DPF? It's so consistent that the warning comes on it feels like it's a sensor/electrical issue preventing the usual regen process; any suggestions on what's happening? (Car's booked into garage, but not until the 8th).
