Stay in High RPM's?

In 16000km of driving, when mine does a regen, the car also doesn't shake violently. I notice it because the idle RPM is slightly higher, and every once in a while a vibration or two, but the car definitely isn't shaking during regens.

What will keep the soot build up down and the DPF clean is heat, not high engine RPM's. The best way to provide heat is long distance driving such as a traveling 15 to 20 miles one way. If you use any modern diesel equipped vehicle as a grocery getter you will have issues. What I am saying is if you drive 2 miles to the store and then turn around and go home. The engine never warms up enough to do a regeneration on the DPF. This will lead to a plug DPF and engine problems.
I am also a member of "Turbo Diesel Register". They provide a PDF booklet for free, this is labeled "Turbo Diesel Buyers Guide". In this booklet on pages 74-80 are explained how Cummins and Mercedes Benz met the latest round of diesel emission (Blue-Tec). I have included this link here for you.

This may help to understand how the Blue-Tec system works.

Thank you very much! I'll be sure to check it out. I bought my beautiful car because I drive almost 90 miles a day to and from work. Roughly 45miles there, and the same back. I did some research on the car before I purchased it. Just finding things now I have questions about. I like to have as much information on what I own as possible! ...... You should see all the literature I have on my drum equipment!

FYI, here is the FAQ article here: http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/D...AQ-VW-Audi.htm which is specific to the 2.0L VW-Audi engine. Your engine is slightly different. There's another article for the ADblue equipped systems with VW-Audi 3.0L engine specific info there as well.
