Avoiding Diesel Issues

Hi all,

I have recently purchased a 325D with 67K miles. I am conscious of carbon build up (CBU) and was wondering if anyone had any input to my query.

I wondered if you guys are aware of tell tale signs to look out for on a diesel car suffering from CBU? I have Carly for BMW and regularly scan for codes (of which there have been none since clearing it before the test drive last week). I also have looked a the DPF section in Carly but it doesn't mean a lot to me at the minute as I don't know what healthy readings would be...

I have and will continue to only run on V-Power and often use the rev range when warm to try and agitate carbon build up and give the car a good clear out.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
