I recently bought a ‘14 Passat with 35k miles, now at 41k. Love the car but still learning about its quirks.
I recently finished a 2-day, 1200 mile trip which was largely highway traveling so I’m sure there was plenty of passive regeneration. The first time I started the car after these long travel days was for a short trip and an active regen started. I let the car run until it was finished, maybe 10-15 minutes.
The next trip was also a short one and when I parked the car, I noticed another active regen. It wasn’t convenient to leave the car running in this instance so I just turned it off. The next trip showed no regens and the car ran normally.
Is this common? I typically see regens every 300-400 miles but maybe the road trip didn’t passively regen like I thought it would.
