If it helps at all, I can definitely say that once the temperatures reach over 600 C, then soot levels fall over the next few minutes/miles quite rapidly, so much so that it is very difficult to grab screenshots showing what actually happens, but this picture explains what I believe is a correctly functioning Active regeneration.

Dennis, Check your thermostat too. It may be over-reading as mine was.

According to the IID tool my coolant temperature is reading 92 degrees but as you say, this could be mid-reporting. I can’t say that I have heard the fan running constantly but then I have had this issue for so long and the car appears so quiet when driven it’s hard to say. What I did notice was whilst waiting for the engine to get up to temperature after fitting the new coolant hose, the viscous fan was turning slowly rather than at full speed, I would say that means as far as that’s concerned it’s operating normally. 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE |

The only thing I can think that might have done it is the EGR and Turbo values cleared (or whatever he did) and/or ECU update.

I have toyed with the ECU update via the service that GAP offer. Not sure how I could clear the EGR values though, would be interesting if anyone on here has done this or knows how to do it 2011 TDV8 Vogue SE |

Sadly too far away at around a 3 hour drive, I'd be at a red DPF by then |
