Did you run it at 60/70 in third for around 20 minutes (motorway or dual carriageway is best for this) ?
What sort of miles do you do in the DS3 ? I did long journeys several times a month (200 - 600 mile trips) and shorter commutes to work (20 miles a day) etc in between and this seemed enough to stop any DPF issues in the three years I owned my diesel DS3.
I know that short stop/start journeys do not allow the system to get hot enough to start the regeneration procedure, if this doesn't happen the DPF can become blocked.
Have you noticed the engine fan being very loud at times when you've come to turn off the engine ? This can be the DPF clean, if you turn it off before it's finished the cleaning cycle won't complete, it will try and do one next time the system is hot enough, this is obviously restricted if your journeys are v short.sigpic
