Got an FR TDI myself, I've done about 26k km and never had the DPF light come on (knock on wood 
). My engine is remapped, running on REVO soft since about 7k km ago. I don't know if it's luck or just the type of fuel you use on the FR, to keep the DPF from lighting up. I just know that before I got the car I read a lot on this issue, on a vw forum in my country, and there where a lot of people having this problem, mostly on Skoda RS TDI (which has the same engine)...so they were trying to figure out a solution and some of them claimed that using just one type of fuel from one specific brand of petrol station (Rompetrol, probably found just in .ro) stopped the DPF problem. So I remembered that when I got the car and have only fueled it from this specific petrol brand station (well, probably 95% of the time, when I was out of time I fueled it from other petrol stations if I couldn't find this one, obviously).
And it worked for me this far...hopefully it will keep the car out of DPF trouble in the future too. On the other hand my job is located only 3 km from my home and I always get there by car, in terrible traffic (side by side cars all the way), sometimes it takes me 45 minutes for this "trip". The consumption...well, let's say that I "managed" to get 40 l/100km once (I don't know how to "translate" that in mpg) on average from home to work. Usually get about 15 - 20 l/100km on this trip to job. So I am doing just the thing Seat are saying "don't", that is driving it small distances on a regular basis. Of course, I do drive out of time occasionaly, but most of the time only in the city.
I don't really know what the "magic recipe" is here, but I must be doing something right, since the DPF is ok.
