Hi, bought a Audi 2.0 tdi 2012 160000km (100k miles) that I think maybe having problems with the dpf, every time I shut off the car the fan runs, from 1 min - 15 min. Idle speed is around 1000 rpm most times.
No lights or codes, it runs fine.
Soot levels was around 24 before, have done some regeneration while driving and take it for long drives at 2500 rpm and got the level down to about 10 both measured and calculated. 50.1 grams oil ash.
What to do about this problem, is it the dpf that needs cleaning/new filter or could it be something wrong with any sensor or anything like that?

Greetings
John

I would not worry much about it my VW 2.0 TDI does the same thing. as long as the engine is able to regenerate when dpf light comes and goes out after Your 2500 rpm drive cycle your fine really. i m guessing your using correct spec oil it calls for?
