I own a 2017 BMW 640d Coupe. It easily reaches 70 mph at 1500rpm in auto mode. I think you advise drivers to maintain 2000rpm for 15 miles or so on a dual carriageway or motorway. Should I do this in manual...

I have a 2013 Volkswagen Beetle diesel. It went in for the emissions update but 12 months later, the DPF light came on. The car does very few miles per year. I took it to a local garage who told me this...

I owned an Evoque that had issues with the DPF. But when a diesel flags up that the DPF needs a regen, how long time or distance wise do you have to get it on a motorway/dual carriageway before the fuel...

How do I know if my car is in a DPF regeneration cycle? It would appear that the engine should not be switched of while this process is taking place but I have never seen any warnings on the dash board...
