How is the DPF cleaner supposed to work?

With a throttle less 1.6 and 2+ tons I have next to no engine braking (you feel no difference when you put the clutch in!) so I use a LOT of DFCO.

Sometimes the lack of engine braking in a Diesel becomes quite a PITA. BTW what is DFCO?

So much in fact that my thermostat never opens fully - new European cars seem to be set up that way for whatever reason.

It's quite surprising the thermostat wouldn't open fully. Not sure if that might be related to the emission controls, most noticeably the DPF regen which requires higher temperatures to work properly.
