I don't doubt that it's partly blocked, but that's the whole point of them anyway lol. As long as theres still sufficient air flow it shouldn't be trying to regen, and Forscan reckons I've got another 30k miles before the DPF is blocked with ash. Any idea what the actual pressure difference trigger is? 9kPa seems like sod all, it's only 1.5psi lol.
I don't agree with it all being blown out at once, even during a regen the particulates aren't much if anything, but that does obviously mean it'll slowly fill with the ash that it can't blow out.
JP would do me a map with the DPF and EGR off but I'd rather stick with them for now. Especially with some of the potential new MOT checks that are floating about on the internet, I've read of future MOT's having to force regens or do a software check for the DPF... Now while I'm sceptical they will actually go ahead, I don't want to shoot myself in the foot now and find in 2 years that I'm buggered lol.
