There is also an additive you can add directly to the fuel tank to help with the regeneration process . Think all diesel cars after 2007 have them fitted by law but you can remove them if you like
Not on some of the newer ones from what I have heard. Also the VW apparantly no longer have them fitted.

I did a DIY job on mine cleansed it with caustic soda and its been fine since.
