My BMP already shows 39g at 107,000 km.

That means it's due at 164,000 kilometers.

Based on the formula used to calculate fuel consumption, the 3C averaged 8 liters per 100 kilometers for the previous owner.

Guste

It's strange, but I couldn't find a container under the spare tire.
And during the burning process, the energy consumption increases dramatically.
Actually, that doesn't really speak well for the additive. According to the vehicle identification number...
but it is installed.

You can only find the container from below; there's a cover with three screws, and the tank is located underneath that.

Additive-free systems also have a high current consumption, which is mainly due to the post-injection of fuel during active regeneration to increase the exhaust gas temperature.

If the filter is sealed, it can be treated similarly to a PSA system, and the device can be backwashed with water.

I've also heard that things are handled that way at PSA. Has anyone tried something similar with VAG?
Still better than shelling out €2000 (for a non-additive system) from VW for a new one. And at that price, it's worth a try to see if flushing it out might help.
