Hello,
I know there are a few topics about the regeneration of the custom but things are getting horrible with mine.
I have a euro5/155hp version and I drive daily around 80km in 2 trips. I accelerate normal to "fast" (if you can call this van fast...) and make sure I'm above 2000rpm.
I've bought the van in May 2016 (demo from dealer) and I have 50.000km on it now. You can't say I'm not driving any distances....
However, the dpf regenerates itself almost on a daily basis causing the engine to run higher in idle, use more fuel, judders when starting to drive, makes a dull noise,... The usual regeneration things. It's not my first diesel with a dpf but it's the first causing me headaches and actually doubting me to keep this van.
The dealer says I'm not driving it fast enough or I'm driving short distances but a 40km single trip should be enough in my perspective. Even on long trips (+1200km) the van regenerated multiple times... I don't know what to do with this van anymore. I really like it how it handles and all the comfort from it but this dpf thing is getting ridiculous...
If anyone have suggestions or solutions, please let me know.
Paul.
