This is the result log,

Hi,

Where abouts are you based? I can talk you through it but don't generally recommend it more than once on a forced regen as it kills pump injectors.. We're doing 4-5 dpf removals a day commonly vags and mazda's.

If you're local, pop in I'll do you a freebie regen but 70%+ blocked as yours is showing.. Hard pushed to get it lasting more than a few weeks before the fault comes back - guaranteed!

Also, looks like sensor will require replacing as well.

Get it removed, you'll be pleasantly surprised of the benefits and our current promotion ;)

Yeah i live in the Shetland Islands (very top of scotland) :(....

Out of interest how much is a DPF removal on my a4?

Couldn't say on a public forum but pm me and i'll send over a quote, a fraction of the cost of a new one though.

Hi, I have the same error over the last couple of weeks and regeneartion was only a temporary fix as error came back within days!
I replaced G450 exhaust pressure sensor and within a couple of miles all warning lights off and DPF now showing a healthier 3% and still dropping when I got home.
Sensor was just over 50 pounds incl vat and 15 mins to replace.
