Hello, I will need to buy a new van soon for work, I live on the outskirts of London and drive locally most of the time, mostly driving for 20 minute stints. What I cannot seem to get my head around is that most tradesman where I live, motor factor delivery drivers, and others, mostly drive newer diesel vans; I see alot of them on the road. Ive asked a few people if they have had issues with their DPF's when most of the round town driving is below 40mph with alot of stop/start driving due to traffic; most of them say no their vans are fine but need to blast em now and again, So what exactly is the deal with DPF's with small vans now. I'm looking at the PSA group offerings from Peueot/Vauxhall/Citroen/Toyota, but keep asking myself if its a better idea to buy a petrol; rather than the diesel; thing is the petrol is about 3K more expensive. Does anyone have a new PSA small van and use it the majority of time around town, if so have you had DPF issues ? My dialema is not helped by the fact that Toyota has recently released its small Proace "City" van (which is diesel) and its obviously marketed for City driving. Do the DPF's in these vans do an auto regen when it needs to even when not driving over 50mph ?? Theres alot of conflicting advice out there !!
