Video tutorial

In this video we see how to regenerate the particulate filter of an Audi A3 8P: we take a quiet ride at 40 kilometers per hour, in third gear keeping the engine speed around 1600/1800 rpm; let's not trust those who tell us to go full throttle in third gear: that's just a myth, because the speed for regeneration must be constant; after regenerating then yes, you can give it a good rev, and in this way the cleaning is completed.

The important thing, as in all things, is always not to overdo it, if we do not want to risk damaging the engine.
