Just thought I would share my experience.
The first 850kms of my SR2016 did little k's, Still got the 2008 SR and work interferes with fit out plans.
Started driving for work last week (190km Round Trip to Brisbane back to Gold Coast).
This afternoon, after getting off the M1, pulled up at the Nielson rd lights, and the revs in Idle went from about 850-900RPM up to about 1250-1300RPM.
Thanks to reading the manual, and more important than the manual, reading your experiences on this site, I was prepared, not shocked, yes it sounded like a gas turbine etc, but as Ryan1kd reported, you just go about your business.
Got home, got it into the driveway, and let it idle for about 8-10 minutes (out of curiosity), and the revs dropped back to normal. I waited another minute or so and switched it off.
This was the first time for this SR, at 2073km. Thought I would share this in case someone is wondering what the fuss is about and hasn't had one after 300-400km.
After my experience, and also losing a loved one to cancer in recent times, I do support what Gulfstream8 is saying about ensuring we regenerate and burn off the particulates.
But another side of me also (the side that has come from rural Bathurst), can understand why farmers in remote areas would prefer an ECU Remap to remove this function and get it cleaned at a service in order to prevent bush fires destroying their crops.
As a city slicker (former Country boy), happy to keep this function.
Cheers
