It's a September 2013 125ps, I'm 99% sure high oil level was causing the excesive regeneration, it was doing it every 50 to 150 miles. I checked the oil level in the same spot on the drive after being left overnight, it was serviced at 28k miles and filled up to the max level, on the drive with it slightly nose up the level was just over max, the level rose up and up with constant regens over about 1500 miles so I sucked out about 3/4 lt. The regeneration slowed and the oil level started to fall slightly I assume the diesel was evaporating out of the oil. The hesitation was like a cough pulling away and at low throttle say in traffic it would rev then cut. The oil pump and sump was changed at about 30k miles, I made sure the oil level was never above 3/4 full, I put 2T oil in the diesel for a while, regens are now once or twice in 500miles.
If you search "snake oil" or "high oil level" you will find more info...I can't seem to post a link.
