Regeneration happened today, noticeable by the higher idle speed and a burning smell. So he definitely needed it.
Full throttle is not recquired for starting this cycle because it wil only happen in 4th and 5th gear between 1800 and 2500 rpm, as stated in the manual.

I had no lights or anything. It just drove like there was no turbo for a while. It will have a service in two weeks, then we'll see if there are some error codes.

But I put the TDI on work today, revved it up to 4000 rpm a couple of times. In July I will let the engine stretch his legs on the Autobahn It helps for a better MPG afterwards.
