DPF short journeys

[Nigel69]

Hello looking for a bit of advice I’m in the market to purchase a 2016 Q5 and would be interested to know if the 2ltr diesel version has a lot of issues with the DPF when only doing short journeys of about 6 miles at a time or should I be looking at the petrol version

Yep most dogs clog if only doing short journeys as it doesn't get hot enough to burn off the soot.
