Larryadler Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Just a thought, I have had my 2019 Q5 almost 3 years, a 40Tdi, I am not doing the mileage pre COVID, still do about 7.5k a year. Obviously as a diesel owner, I am only too familiar with all the dpf horror stories, and for that reason I give mine a good run every two weeks, over 2000rpm for about 25-30 minutes. it does not appear to be such a prevalent issue these days, but my car does do the fan running on turning the engine off, which I presume is the vehicle doing a regen of the dpf, or is it the fan on the cooling system? Either way, I take no chances, and next time out give it a blast. So I was wondering is this an issue that has been resolved on newer vehicles, and has anyone else had any issues ?

Steve Q Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Hey Larry, you're doing the right actions. Any dpf can block regardless of diesel car these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
