Must clog your Dpf's  up doing such short stop start journeys in a diesel
I get a warning on the display in my van which is an Auto. I then have to take it onto a dual carriageway, switch to manual mode, and keep the revs highish for a mile or so to clear it.

My van is in for an MOT today so I'll find out if it passes on emissions....

Worryingly my missus who has the same vehicle,same age at 5 years old(the Ford tourneo car version,same engine)only just got through the emissions test and she does a lot more miles than me....

Fuel system cleaner like clean drive or similar in 1/4 of a tank day before. Get it up to temp and high revs for 5 mins on way to test center . Was advised of this when my old ranger failed on emissions few years ago. Do it as a matter of course now each year before MOT.

I'm not sure whether I should put fuel cleaner in a van with  dpf fitted and a diesel hot water system plumbed into my fuel tank...I think ill give it a miss mate...
