I think that you get a message only when it becomes to full with soot. I have never seen this message on my car. I have noticed that the instantaneous mpg shows much lower when it would normally be much higher at certain times and the mpg being lower than it should be, then after a time the instantaneous mpg readout returns to its normal readings and the mpg goes up, this is I assume when it is regenerating the dpf.

There are several ways to tell if a regen is underway.
- the engine note changes but only really noticeable around town - instantaneous MPG will drop like a stone - if you are stationary and external to the vehicle you will notice a loud fan noise from the engine compartment and you definitely smell burning. - last of all, and most fun if not very 'green', if you plant the accelerator pedal you will see a huge plume of smoke from your exhaust. Particularly vivid on sunny & cold winter day! |

Are there times when it cant/wont regen?
I only do a few miles a week, most days its just the dog walk, 2 mile round trip, and 1 day shopping at 11 miles away 3 mile at 70+ the rest ave 55mph. There is the odd rare journey of 60m round trip but mostly A, some B roads The only time I notice a drop in instantaneous is at the start of a journey when cold, I lose about 10mpg. Before you say anything, I didn't know about small or slow journeys to be an issue for a diesel, my last car before i traded it in was a 55 plate Laguna 1.9 DCi, had that for about 4 years, same as above driving.

Your 60 mile trip should cover it if it needs to regen.
