When I had the DPF cleaned by a specialist he showed me the reading and it wasn’t that bad. It could well have been the cause of it though.
My DPF light came on briefly then went off again so I was none the wiser.
The van gets driven down the motorway but probably not enough.
Why wouldn’t the...
Thanks Dave, sorry might of confused things with too much waffle.
I’m confident the new DPF I fitted is fine and has the internals intact. It’s more that I’m sure it’s not regenerating.
Either because the map it’s running is preventing it, by keeping the soot values at 0 or it’s the...
...EGR min/max positions
Based on reference data in [T6_measured] 01-Engine - Built-in test for EGR - very good.
Differential pressure across the DPF
Fairly high pressures were observed - in comparison with data in [T6_measured] 01-Engine - Built-in test for EGR
Of course fairly high soot...
As far as I know Darkside Dev’ don’t map out and blank an EGR without removing the DPF. Obviously they assume you are only using the van ‘off road’.
The consequences are that if the DPF is found to ‘missing’ you will at least need to buy a new one £££, my advice is to keep the DPF if removed and...
...get used to the engine tone - and the revs will be higher when at idle.
If you have an Android device, another way to keep an eye on what the DPF is doing is to use the Torque app. I find this information useful to understand - since as alluded to above, my van also loves going into...
Has anyone had their front flexi on their exhaust replaced? My DPF is good but the flexi is going as seems to have pin holes forming can a new one be welded in or can it be sleeved?
Just to add to this - it really p's me off that the engines most fuel efficient speed is bad for the DPF - I did a run to Cornwall and back and got 43mpg by sitting at 60mph on a return trip of 600 miles
All was good but then after refuelling I got the dpf light on, that went after a blast up...
Interesting you mention 15%...
The T6 ECU smooths out the extra bit of fuel in the DPF regeneration in the following (typically) 60-120 km by showing 15% worse MPG on MFD. Showing the real MPG during the DPG regeneration would be... . unconfortable... thus VW alleviates the anxiety by spreading...
Please post "Detailed ECU info"-report (under Carista Service menu).
Soot level 60 g inhibits DPF regeneration - the DPF needs to be replaced (or cleaned). Also ECU defnitely should report that as fault. Was there any mention about engine remap?
Is the tailpipe sooty...
Thanks for the fast response guys, yes understood, it’s the DpF that worries me.. I would try and give it a blast now and again but my Dad tried the same and still ended up in the dealers 3 or for times before he gave up with it..
Did I read there is a T6 without Adblue / Dpf - like a...
Hey mate.
Strongly suspect a fully blocked DPF so it’s back at the dealer now for investigation and possible DPF clean / replacement.
Still not sure if this is the result of some other, underlying issue…. Or just the DPF reaching the end of its life and no longer able to regen.
Will report...
