The warning 'risk of filter blocking' comes up for 2 reasons.
1/ The car has not carried out a regen because of short journeys. (Drive car for 20 min)
2/ The dpf is at the end of its life (high milage cars) get a new dpf for £116.
The glow plugs help the regen and they do fail.

I have a bleeper and LED connected to my car.
When the automatic regen starts, it also turns on the heated mirrors and heated rear screen.
Many times I have nearly got home and the bleeper sounds 4 times and my LED starts blinking.
For that reason, I drive for another 8 minutes, minimum, and wait for the LED to go off. (Usually 8 minutes to complete a regen)
Because Peugeot didn't fit a warning light, we have no way of knowing if we have stopped the engine in the middle of a regen.
If you make short journeys for less than 10 to 15 minutes, the regen will never happen.
That is why I fitted my system.
Drive the car until the engine is hot.
Drive for 15 minutes, once the engine is hot.
That should ensure the 8 minutes is given for the regen.
A regen will work at any speed and will even start at idle in town traffic.
A faster drive is better since the burnt soot is being forced out faster with the increased engine revs.
