I agree with that statement!
Yes -- 175ml Max.is there an agreed upon oil ash volume when the filter is full of ash? ive heard some people mention 380-450 ml?
currently at 120 ml @ 100k mile
DSG and DPF are completely unrelated. One is a transmission and the other is an emissions component. Your car has a DSG transmission, but it does not have a DPF. A DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) started being used on North American TDIs with the 2009 model year.Do all DSG's in all models of VW have to be concerned about DPF? My 06 DSG TDI book does not mention it. Why is it such a concern?

As to why it is a concern (it is not to you); it has to do with replacement cost. If all works well, a DPF should last for several hundred thousand miles. However, if a sensor fails or other things cause it to not burn off the trapped soot (regenerate); it can clog up and cause very expensive repairs.
