How many kilometres has your DPF fitted CRD done?

270 is the max so far - half petrol life.

My MK 6 GTD has just brought up 123,281km as of last fill and is going good. At the 105,000 km service I asked for the DPF reading. The reading on the service sheet came back as ".06L, max being 0.46 ALL OK". The last 10,000km or so have been all around Brisbane with only two trips to the Gold Coast. I have noticed a few regens taking place and have had two interrupted regens in the last month or so. All seems normal so far.

And it's current trade-in valuation is, say, 5K....and that's the problem if almost anything significant goes wrong.

Even if you do need to replace the dpf, its not necessarily the disaster it was years ago. There's a UK based company selling aftermarket replacement dpf's for all makes, on eBay, for a few hundred AUD.

Actually I'm more interested in kms and complexity/longevity/reliability as the DPF subject is covered to death elsewhere.

Then why did you start this thread?

[Ryeman]

I'm sorry I even mentioned DPF
I just want to hear from high km owners of CR vehicles.......at some stage I'm going to have to sell one of our cars and I want to be convinced that my much loved Yeti TDI is the one to keep as opposed to the diesel like Pug.

Fair enough. Honestly you'd probably get a better idea looking for cold start videos on YouTube. Yes they are a thing. You can often find videos of people starting their cars in the freezing cold, and often they say the kms on the odo and some other details. I was happy to stumble over a 2.5 v6 TDI colstart with 600 odd kkm on it.

Interesting!
I'm still interested in high km CR feedback also.
Is there a particular date associated with the introduction of VAG CR engines as opposed to series of a particular model?
I'm assuming all Yeti diesels are CR fm 2009.

Not date based, it varies between models/makes
