Is this something I should be worried about 

My dpf keeps coming on and starts cleaning and doesn't complete the clean

    Some soot in the oil is to be expected on a diesel, but if it keeps failing regens it'll be thinning out the oil with unburnt diesel as well.  Need to find out why it's not completing regens.

    Are you not letting it finish the regen?

    Change the oil and filter

    Iam in the process of handing the car back

    It's a long hard process 

    I paid to get a independent inspection done by scotcia and flagged up a few things with it 

    The garage has went radio silent on me the finance company is even harder to get incontact with 

    Iam not letting the car go back to the garage as everytime it goes in comes out with more issues than it started with 

    And they have been tampering about with or swapped my middle seatbelt out with another one

    Maybe set yourself up on FORScan to do it once a month

    You may need the software updated in the PCM
