    Start by taking it for a blast on a Motorway. 60MPH or more for an hour.

    If that does not fix it then go to a dealer and get a forced regeneration.

    Any diesel with a DPF needs to be regenerated every so often. This is part of the joys of modern diesel ownership.

    They need a good motorway blast every so often.

    If you read the handbook it would tell you this.
