DPF

Just bought a 2011 evoque 2.2sd4 auto.Does this car have the diesel particulate Filter?

Pretty sure all diesel Evoques have one.

yep they have

You'll soon smell it, burning off the crap - Regenerating is the technical term

my RRE is a 2.0l Ingenium Diesel.
I can see when DPF is on because consumption is growing up (1 or 2l / 100km more).
Normally, consumption is null (0.0) when going downhill and foot is out throttle pedal. but when DPF is on, in same condition, I can notice cunsumption is not null.
I can see that nearly every 500km.
duration is 20 minutes.
I think petrol is injected directly into particule filter to highly increase temperature and burn all particules.

Hope not

Of course, it's not Petrol, but Diesel injected in exhaust.

I know, hence the smiley face.
Although it could happen if the wife fills the tank up.
