    Hi folks

    Noobie here, have owned a number of older diesel cars, but not owned a Leon (yet) – or a car with DPF before.
    I’m looking to go for a Mk3 (64 or 65 reg) FR184, so just wandering if as anyone had any DPF issues on the 2014/15 184’s?
    Also if anyone could possibly offer any DPF info/advice it would be very greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance
    Tom

    P.S. Had a quick mooch but could not find any posts re DPF issues/advice so apologies if this is in the wrong section or if I am looking with non seeing eyes lol

    they seem to regen at the strangest intervals. Never had the light come on, and I do quite a lot of sub-30 minute drives (at low throttle openings) and when I get out the fan stays on for ages. But sometimes it does that after I’ve done a 300 mile round trip on motorways at 75+, so where’s the rationale for it?
    Supposedly a once a week or so 30 minutes at 2000+rpm is supposed to keep it clear, but in 30 months and 30k miles my light’s never come on……maybe driving style is a factor? I don’t mash the pedal…..average MPG is 53. I wouldn’t worry unless you’re constantly doing 5 miles in town traffic and no longer stuff.

    that’s Ok, Tom. maybe mine doesn’t come on because I don’t floor the pedal and therefore put a load of fuel into the system that has to come out again…..although injectors are supposed to only put in precisely what’s needed. I reckon it’s driving style as much as anything.
    have a look on the “seatcupra” website – there’s loads of threads on there about dpf….
