Could anyone give me some advice please. I have a 19 plate 330d X drive touring. I have just started a new job. My old job was 13 miles from my house,1 mile on the road,11 miles on the motorway then 1 mile on the road . My car engine got to operating temperature. My new job is 2.7 miles from my house or 5.1 if I go the long way. I had been going on my push bike but as now Autumn is here and Winter approaches i will probably go in the car. The car has just done 10,000 miles in its first year. I am worried that I could harm the engine only going these short distances as obviously the engine does not reach full operating temperature and would I block up the DPF? Any advice, comments welcome. Cheers.
