Particulate Filter - diesel
I am new on here and I have had my 2021 A3 TDI for about 2 weeks now and the particulate filter light seems to stay on and I have done the steps to clear it out and the light will go off but then when I start my car after turning it off it will come right back on do any of you know how to keep this light off permanently

Particulate filter cleaning
I've owned quite a few Benz diesels and my favorite was to pick one up from an owner complaining about sluggish operation, smoke, etc. I'd heard about a method called the Italian Tune Up where you drive it for an extended period at high RPM a little on the aggressive side. One 300CD I had just kept getting progressively more responsive before one big cloud behind me (the other drivers were not happy) then it seemed about perfect. Lots of responsiveness, no more smoke. Not sure if these can be run that way or not.
