DPF on Mk5 Golf

[brad]

Looks to be on mine. I’ll try and get a picture. Maybe it’s a turbo muffler?

As for clearing it - is cruising at low revs not clearing it out? Like at 80 km/h?

No, you need heat and gas velocity

I think is a MKV DPF. He has the inlet from the turbo in his hand.

Is your car like this?

Conditions for the regeneration; at least 1/4 of the tank, engine speed @ above 1500rpm (shift manual if you’ve DSG)and as uninterrupted driving as possible preferred where the aren’t many intersections. You can turn the headlights on, heated seats on, as many consumers as you like which will increase the engine load. Usually 15-20 minutes drive through the hills or freeway will do.
You don’t need to rev the engine to ridiculous rpms, it’s a diesel so keep it bellow 3,000rpm.

Redline is ~4500rpm isn't it?

The redline has nothing to do with it. The max torque is delivered between 1,750-2,500m. You need to load the engine to increase exhaust gas temperatures during regeneration and not to rev the guts out of it.

No mate mines more like a small sphere right off the turbo. I’ll get a picture when I can.
