Hi,

My Mk6 Golf has been more difficult to start lately and the performance seems a bit sluggish. I do wonder if the DPF is at least contributing to these issues as my differential pressure is between 90-256 mbar when cruising around 2000 rpm, and 326 mbar at 3000 rpm. Does this seem high to you?

Here are the specs taken at idle:
Code:
18:07:13 Group 100: Diesel Particle Filter
  138.0 C  Temperature prior Precatalytic Converter
  126.0 C  Temperature prior Particle Filter
  23 mbar  Particle Filter Different. Pressure
  -3 mbar  Particle Filter Offset Different. Pressure

18:07:13 Group 108: Diesel Particle Filter
  189 ml  Particle Filter Oil Ash Volume
  15.6  Particle Filter Carbon Mass (spec.)
  14.7  Particle Filter Carbon Mass (act.)
The car is well maintained and has done 346k km, everything is still original. I do not have any faults logged and regenerations are happening successfully.

Does anything here indicate a smoking gun or should I be looking elsewhere?

Thank you!
