In 40k plus, I've never experienced a regen. on my Insignia.

It must have done loads of them in 40k miles, if it hasn't the your living on borrowed time for the EML to come on and the vx dealer telling you it needs a new DPF 
But its the same in my Mondeo.....ive never noticed it doing one...

What age is your Mondeo? How have you found it?

Its 4 years old....suffering with a couple of probs atm, bearing noise, uneven tyre wear....but its on 140k miles, so don't expect it to be fault free.... its a 1.6 manual 6 speed diesel....a very nice/easy drive.....maybe only criticism as its only a 1.6, it doesn't like steep hills, so sometimes you have to make it work ..... but then the av fuel consumption is creeping near the 50mpg mark now

I know Peugeot use adblue (is it called that? ) That's what our buses use, if anyone doesn't know it's just pig piss! Don't know about Renault but about the time I left Fiat their latest derv POS engine (multijet 2 iirc) didn't need a regeneration cycle as it injected fuel 8 times a second (I remember seeing a very fancy graph)! Very clever people that lot, if you want innovation look at Fiat (sorry for all the brackets)(ps I hated Fiat before working for them, same as Vauxhall!).

Totally different, Adblue is for NOx reduction (its Urea) and has no impact on particulate levels, its used by all manufacturers with cars/engines above a certain size (smaller units can get away with a fancy catalyst)  . All these bluemotion and bluetec cars basically have Adblue injection

And its 8 injections per cycle, this has no impact on regeneration and they still do regenerate, what it does do is reduce noise and improve power delivery 

Oh yes, the Fiat and Gm 1.3/1.9/2.0 engines are the same power plant

Yeah fiat design then sold to the others, when I worked there they were keeping the multijet 2 to themselves and it definitely did something that meant no regen cycle...

Totally impossibly sadly, the whole basis of the tech is means there is no other option.
