I was monitoring my DPF just before leaving work and it's soot level was almost close to 24g(thats the max limit when ECU triggers regen).As expected,regen stsrted as soon as soot level reached 24g.I got home while regen was happening and soot level came down only to 17.93g and had to shut down the engine in the middle of the regen.
Next morning i was expecting that regen would start as soon as my engine reaches operating temp.But that did not happen and soot level started going up just normally??VAGDPF app captured it as its still showing regen duration minutes and a red time glass display which means regen cycle has not finished yet.I have driven close to 60 kms with couple of full engine warmup cycles but ECU never resumed that interrupted regen.I have a feeling that ECU will only reinitiate the regen after soot level reaches again to the max level of 24g.
On the other hand my BMW X5 diesel,resumes any interrupted regen on the next engine start as soon as coolant temp reaches 60 deg Celsius.
I am attaching screenshots from all the stages from 1 to 6.Is it normal and has anybody noticed it?Thanks
