Hi folks,
yesterday, for the first time ever since ive had my FR TDI (18 months, 21k miles with me, 5k when bought) the engine idle was up near 1000rpm and it really sounded rough!
There were no warning lights, however im sure this is a regeneration of the DPF taking place.
Ive had a fair driving mix, in town commuting each day, 300 motorway miles most months etc etc.
The last 3-4 tanks for fuel have been standard fuel, ie. not shell V-power which i had been using for most of the time i had the car. Ive been filling from shell, Sainsburys and Morrisons just for cost reasons.
This is the only change there has been to my driving... i find it a strange coincidence that after around 200L of non-premium fuel, i get a DPF regen happening.
the RPM has now returned to normal.
Anybody else had the same/similar?
Stuart
