Year of Manufacture *: 2011 Engine Size and Code *: 1600 ( Optional ) Scanner Used: VCDS ( Optional) Fault Codes: 16848 (P2458) DPF regeneration duration.
I can't seem to be able to get this car to carry out a DPF regeneration, even though, as far as I can determine, the soot level and pressures are within acceptable limits.

The car is in limp home. If I go in to adaptions, channel 2B - Service regen whilst driving, I can then drive the car without loss of power. I've driven it for around 20 minutes on main roads but so far I still have the three engine and DPF warning lights on and it looks like (from the data above) its not initiating a regen.
When I go into that channel 2B, it displays stored and new data as 00 00. I'm not sure if I'm entering the new data correctly, but it accepts 01 00 and displays this in stored data as 00 01. I'm not sure if this correct?
go into adapations or basic settings (i can not rember which one with out VCDS connected to the car)
and tell it that you have a new dpf its some thing like clear dpf counter- adaption ?? AND SET SOOT TO 0.00
this should get you out of limp once the DTC's are cleared.
run the engine for a minuite or 2 and then go back into a adaptions and dpf counter/ adaptiation and manualy change the soot counter to 27 g and save it.
you should be able to force regen the car as you have previously tried but you will need to drive it on a dual carrage way at a fairly constant speed for 10 miles or so untill the DPF light goes out ( the DPF LIGHT will come on if you are successful in initiateing a regen and it will go out when the car is happy)
if like me a dual carrage way is 20 mins drive from your site, wait untill you are 1/2 mile from the dual carrage way before starting the process.

Many thanks for that Andrew. Luckily we're based a couple of minutes drive from a dual carrage way so after following your advise all seems good.
I still don't really understand why it was trying to regenerate if the ash level was too low? I must admit, I've still got a lot to learn about DPFs. If I understand it correctly, soot is produced during the combustion process but ash is produced if oil is burnt, ie, if the incorrect grade of oil is used? So, assuming that ash and soot are two different by-products, why does a low ash content prevent the DPF regenerating?
