Hi all,
I have just got an 11 plate Skoda Fabia 1.6 tdi CR 105bhp and do a lot of trips locally where thr car stays around 20 to 40mph, now I want to take the car for nice hot runs to regen the dpf but not sure how often to do it and for how long.
Yesterday I took it on a motorway trip for 30miles/30 minutes at 70 to 80mph, should I do this run maybe once a week? The car is also used for long trips to the in laws who live 250miles away but thats only around 4 times a year.
What would you suggest for me to prevent the dpf fault light rearing its ugly had, I didnt get a petrol because it was costing me way to much monthly on fuel especially on the long distance runs. Also only pay £20 a year road tax and get 50plus mpgs from it so happy with that.
