Sounds like it's an additional initiative. Says the engines in some Porsches will be included in the recall including some V6/V8 TDI EU5/EU6...

DPF service light came on again tonight on way home. Did not have chance to give it a run but warning light went out after a couple of minutes -very disconcerting. Think I could detect a burning smell so it may have been burning off soot but as I was not driving at 2000 rpm I cannot see how the regen could have been working.mark-yorkshire wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2017 4:50 pmMust say I cannot detect any affect on performance or mpg but very suspicious that after never having a DPF warning in 2 years I get a warning a couple of weeks after the DME software upgrade. Will it happen again ?Nuclear Nick wrote: ↑Sat Jul 15, 2017 11:45 am Not directly relevant, but I've declined the NOX update on our Yeti. There's too much uncertainty at the moment about the effects on performance, etc, despite VW's assurances that 'independent inspection' confirms the mod will have no adverse effect.

I think the first stage, pure maintenance, regen happens irrespective of revs - just chucks more fuel down to get a higher temp. It's the second stage " I'm getting full" warning where you need to keep the revs up. (Others more technical, feel free to confirm / otherwise)

Can't be a coincidence that I never got any dpf warnings or noticed any passive regen in first 2 years before software "upgrade"Paul wrote: ↑Fri Jul 28, 2017 8:04 pm I think the first stage, pure maintenance, regen happens irrespective of revs - just chucks more fuel down to get a higher temp.

DPF service light on again today. Seems to be coming on every 2 to 3 weeks. My daily driving routine has not changed so can only conclude that the supposed software upgrade is to blame. Going to e mail my OPC this afternoon to complain.

Am I right in thinking that you are not obliged to have the update?
