V70 D5 215BHP 2015MY 41000 miles.
Driving home on A1/M1 @ 65/70mph tonight noticed a significant drop in fuel consumption. Assumed it was a DPF "Regen" in progress. However, some 50 miles later the "Regen" appeared to be still underway as the MPG had not recovered.
At home a check up on 2014D VIDA/DICE tells me : ECM-P245868Diesel Particulate Filter Regeneration Duration (Bank 1) - Algorithm Based Failures.

I tried the /delivery / read all / erase all , but the code did not go away. I tried a second time and it still remained.

While DICE was connected I checked the soot mass in the particulate filter and it returned the result as 1.5g - which I'm assuming is very good.

No dash warning lights ( MIL) are visible and the car did not appear to go into limp mode after I came off the Motorway and drove the 20 mile home

Suggestions as to my next course of action most appreciated.

Cheers
Bob
