The sort of issues I'm having with mine - frequent, continued regenerations taking 20 or more miles, up to a staggering 50 miles - apparently is also killing the ceramic matrix of the DPF

Shutting down during regeneration, also turns on the rad fan @ full blast for up to 10 minutes.
Opening the hood, the heat radiation is massive.
