Mine has definitely done stationary regens because it stinks and the floor gets hot.

Clearly me miss understanding then.
Yes stationary Regen's are forced or active Regen's. Mine will do it around town sometimes. If I stop the engine and come back 5 mins later after visiting a customer it will continue the active Regen cycle. You could say it can Regen 5 times in 30mins but it's just one Regen over a set time. Active Regen use way more fuel.
Passive Regen's happen when cruising around on carriageways etc.
You should see a Regen twice per full tank or around every 30 litres.
The fans running is an active Regen keeping the engine cool as it forces more fuel to increase exhaust gas temps. Usually the fans well remain running after engine is off but it won't Regen with the engine off however the dpf will still be red hot, burning off soot from passive residual heat.

Cheers Ratty, so I was right and wrong in equall amounts. I can live with that
First time it happened on the drive I thought the van was going to spontaneously combust
No because it's an active Regen. If you leave it over night and drive the next day once its up to temp it will force an active Regen again until the sensors in the dpf give the all clear.
Just let the van do it itself. That's how it's designed....... until the adblue throws a wobbly and then it's up to vw.
Remember when we used be allowed to drive long OR short distances in our cars before lunatic emissions strangling diesel ancillaries came our?
That's what both our petrols car do; no fuss whether I drive to the shops or to Germany.

I have the 150 DSG and i love it (as long as it keeps being good) . Dont enjoy every day driving going up and down gear boxes sat in traffic, i find that annoying , Manuel boxes in fast cars and bikes...on the track
Haha; my fast car is auto. 'Cos it's faster!I have the 150 DSG and i love it (as long as it keeps being good) . Dont enjoy every day driving going up and down gear boxes sat in traffic, i find that annoying , Manuel boxes in fast cars and bikes...on the track

Totally agree manual all the way in something quick, these flappy gearboxes aint for me at all.
I pretty much never use my paddles.
The gearbox in sport is better than me.
Did think that after i wrote, as the auto boxes in todays performance cars are great, so im told but never had fast cars just bikes
I am a DSG convert, had a Golf and Touran DSG for 6 years now.
Drove a manual T6 then two with DSG's. I found the DSG's were brilliant, no sign of hesitation etc.

They are impressive thats for sure and that Audi I saw on your drive looks an absolute beast however im very much a rwd manual man, so much more fun
You do lose a bit of control but our auto is faster, better on fuel and lower on CO2 than the auto. As are many DSG boxes but not the T6 one.Did think that after i wrote, as the auto boxes in todays performance cars are great, so im told but never had fast cars just bikes
I'd last four seconds on a fast bike before becoming part of a tree/wall/hedge.
Thats exactly what I wanted to hear mate
