Am I the only Q7 owner to use Google? The world is literally at your fingertips.
NOTE: This video is an entire diagnostic, including a detailed, direct cleaning of the DPF. to illustrate 'holistic' troubleshooting, level-setting, and what you can do to help bring your older car back to excellent performance using non-invasive techniques/cleaning products, etc. There is another video linked in my next post that is purely discussing products for the DPF itself.

Here, try this one that explains the difference in the type of product you can use on DPF, and when to use what type of product.
I don't have any DPF problems as yet on either of our TDIs, at 105k and 113k miles currently. Similar to the inspection/service shown in the first video, when we bought our cars, we did a complete filters & fluids change on each car, including an oil flush product to get the deposits and varnish out of it. I currently use the Liqui Moly Ceratec (30k mile intervals) additive, then top off with the Liqui Moly (LM) oil...you can actually just buy their LM TDI additives kit, which I do (FCP Euro has what you need). My cars are both very quiet, powerful, and efficient. The LM kit does include a fuel system TDI purge product for heavy cleaning of injectors, and also also a regimen of their fuel booster product to increase lubricity of fuel and raise cetane values, etc., which keeps the HPFP happy, and your engine running snappy...it's like a kick in the pants. I also run top-tier diesel fuel in our cars, which helps to maintain the DPF, the HPFP, and produces better overall power, cleaner, more complete combustion and improved efficiency. I like the video above as he explains why you would use the DPF products, and importantly when you shouldn't, etc., as well as explaining the regeneration cycles and how it all functions. Also, he says there are many other products on the shelf that do the same thing as the JLM products he is using as example props, you just need to read the labels and choose appropriately rather than just throwing something in the tank that could damage your DPF.
