It will be the DPF. The engine has to produce enough power to heat the DPF to well over 700 degrees for it to work. On my current audi (multitronic) it felt as though the revs were too high and wasnt changing up gear for spells of 5-10 mins. This happened every 250 miles or so for the first 10000 miles or so but became less frequent as the mileage went up and began not to notice it.

It did take a bit of time to get used to and a trip back to the dealer when I though something was wrong only to be told its was normal.

Still, beats a big ploom of black smoke f the exhaust when you get over friendly with the right foot.
