I have searched and read may threads regarding DPF regeneration but have not found answers to the following questions (but they are probably there). From what I have read, DPF regen frequency varies but when one does occurs how long do they typically last (several seconds/minutes)? If a regen is in progress, is there anyway to know before turning off the car and smelling the burning soot and finding the fans running? I assume if you have the VAG unit connected to the OBDII/CAN port you would know but it would be real nice to know before shutting off the car (assuming the regen process doesn't take long). and drive a short distance to let it complete. If a regen in process is interrupted, it might use more fuel to issue it again or does a partial regen make the next regen complete quicker/use less fuel? I would think it would be best if a regen were allowed to ALWAYS complete before turning off the engine (thus the main point of this post)?
