I was just congratulating myself on not having had any car related woes for a few months, but I've now noticed that my Croma (55 reg 1.9 16v Presigio auto) seems to be attempting very frequent DPF regen. I've noticed it regenerating quite frequently over the years I've owned so I'm familiar with the symptoms (drastic drop in consumption, burning smell etc) and it seemed to do a fairly major one a couple of weeks ago, but now it seems to go into regen mode every time the car is stationary for more than about a minute when the engine is running and its up to temperature (e.g. when stopped at traffic lights). This has happened several times in the last week (and I only do a few miles a day). I read on another thread that something similar happened due to a hole in the exhaust forcing out the hot gases so the filter remained clogged. However, my exhaust doesn't seem to be broken (e.g. no excessive noise). I guess I will need to get it looked at but wondered if anyone here might be able to give me an idea as to possible causes.
Thanks
