Had to make a quick 30 mile round trip to my office tonight to print some airport parking passes off due to failure of my home printer.
Anyway, thought I’d take the wife Macan sd.
After a warm up I thought I’d test myself at keeping the revs over 2k to give the diesel filter a clean out.
Well, unless I drove in manual or sport mode on the motorway, I struggled to keep anything like this rev rate and let’s just say, I wasn’t driving slowly.
So when people say you need 14 minutes over 2000 revs, I’d say unless you climb a 10 mile hill or drive in sport mode at 90 mph. This just doesn’t happen.
Maybe my driving style is a bit docile but I don’t think that is the case as I’m used to keeping up the revs in my flat 6 boxster s
Any vlues what I’m doing wrong here. Or perhaps I’m not and all that is really needed is a few miles at a bit of a spirited driving speed?
Driving over 2000 revs - not so easy
Easy, stick it in manual and stay in whichever gear keeps the rpm over 2500........ 4th perhaps?

A sixth gear Motorway Cruise at min 2000 rpm seems to return mid 30’s.
