We have 2 TDI Tiguans, V6 TDI Touareg that done almost 200,000km all of them driven by females, they don’t have/never had the issues you talk about.

Why listen and watch for the regeneration and stress about it? Why look for the problems that don’t exist?

I’ll say it again,
if you’re normal driver and drive the DPF equiped car then whether it’s 4cyl. TDI or V6 TDI, the regeneration process doesn’t require any input from you and the waste majority of drivers don’t even notice the DPF is regenerating.
I also had 4 cylinders for 5 years and never had problems with DPF. I also have a Tiguan TDI and do only start stop at slow speed with it( mail delivery) and no problems. But if I don’t keep an eye of my DPF on the V6. It will through the orange light as I’m driving only short trip with it. No time to go in temperature. It’s not really the car fault but mine. I learned how to manage it. Until I can afford an electric car. I go for longer drive when I need.
