This will be the pressure drop across the DPF. There will be some difference even if the filter is clean, so 20% is probably fine.

The Peugeot DPF incorporates a catalyst to improve regen.

I've been using my MB for city driving since mid last year. I was nervous about this at first, but haven't noticed a regen for months. When I can, I do accelerate quite hard as it's the best way to drive a diesel, so maybe this helps keep the DPF clean?

I'd like to have more idea what's going on, but the DPF seems fine, so I'll just keep driving it the same.
