Evening all

Got to the station this morning, switched the engine off, fan going mad. Obviously interrupted a regen. Noticed the revs were idling at 1k or so, but had to catch the train!

So, what's the view on what the car does the next time it's driven? I took the long way home and drove the 1800-2500rpm etc to let it do its thing, but does anyone know whether it automatically tries to regen again the next time it's driven??

They really could do with a light to tell you when ones happening!

Cheers

The next time you drive it after interrupting a regen, it'll try again to complete. You really don't need to do anything special, the system is very good and will sort itself out.

 

I've covered over 34,000 miles in the 2 years I've had mine, not had an issue, and I've seen none on the forum as yet.

 

The manual does explain the process, and there isn't any need to worry until you see a warning light on the dash.

Mime does the regen like yours  nothinhg to worry about 

 

Which train company were you catching?

If it did enough of a regen to reduce the diff pressure across the DPF to under the regen threshold i'm not sure if it automatically tries to do another. I have never noticed a regen directly after interrupting one so I presume even if it only gets a 5 minute regen, it is enough to keep it happy until it gets full again.

Totally right....remember it's just measuring soot volume so if the partial regen reduced it to under the threshold it will wait till it needs doing again. Maybe 10 miles or 100.

TFL. The worst!

Thanks all!

I keep reading/hearing that the system is very good, just trying to understand it!

If you interrupt the regen, then start the car again, you will see when it gets up to temperature (or almost immediately if the engine temperature hasnt dropped) it regens again. But its harder to catch actual regen in hot summer days,  I think increased revs could be also due to climate control working extensively.

What I do with mine is get a long thin chimney sweeps brush and carefully feed it through the exhaust system from the back box. Once it's fully in, up to the downpour, I give a ruddy good pulling through.

Seems to work. [emoji1360]

I've done 20,000 miles in 3 years. Interupted plenty of regens due to low mileage. Never had a problem.

But there is still a factor of a amount of ash accumulation in dpf filter.
