Didnt think so, the garage I got it from have said its normal and part of the regeneration process. However.. I never see a car on the road smoking this much and it happens twice if not three times a week.

The DPF blocks up twice a week and have to take it on a drive up the motorway and get this smoking every time. I took it to the dealer at which they sent the DPF off for a professional clean and replaced a gasket of sorts, got the car back and the next day was smoking just like in the video.

What can you suggest i do? The car is obviously faulty

Not normal.

Blue smoke, means oil burning, not directly a dpf issue.

Using much oil? Correct oil ? What mileage is engine?

Hey,
Oil life on the dash has dropped from 84% to 64% in the 3 weeks of having the car,
I can only assume being from the dealer that the car has the correct oil and have checked via dipstick and level seems to be satisfactory and quality also seems to be ok.
It's sitting at 56k miles at present
