Forced regen in driveway. I watched the coolant temp till it hit 60, then kicked off the regen. It shot up to about 2k rpm for a few minutes, and then up to 3k for around 10-15, and then back to normal idle when it was done. If I need to do it again I'll move it out onto the street first, driveway is kinda close to neighbour's back verandah!

How do you do a forced regen?

You can do it through ALPHAOBD and a bluetooth OBD2 scan tool

This isn't the best YouTube vid I've seen, but it gives you an idea of doing the regen with AlfaOBD & OBDlink tools.

Had mine for 50K kms and never seen or heard a thing, I think the 50 odd km runs at the $ plus sorts it out every other week with no city style driving.......

Same with mine. I've never been given any indication that a regen is underway.

Mine really doesn't do short trips though, even when driven to work, it sits on 90 - 100kph for around 20 minutes twice a day.

Same here and mine does do a few short trips each week but also a run at highway speeds.
