Do you do a lot of short, cold trips?  If so, just need to do a bit more distance driving, these are one of the first petrol engines to be fitted with a GPF so it's just something we'll all have to get used to eventually.

This has cropped up in other topics also. When I first read about gpf's  I got the impression that they would be no big deal compared to the diesel version, probably won't even notice etc, etc. So far though it seems as if re-gen is coming up far earlier and more frequently than the various technical write-ups seemed to suggest. As with diesel, the "fix" seems to be to do more driving which given the object was to reduce pollution seems counter-intuitive. Or maybe it's all a dastardly plot to get us into electric cars?😡
