I would try and get it into a garage as soon as possible, if it is a blocked DPF last thing you want is it blowing the head gasket, as in my case.
A carista dongle and DPF monitor app would give you a good insight into the state of it.
Getting it cleaned may get you by for a bit longer.
...And says the value is too low??
I’m guessing this must be an erroneous reading due to some other fault??
Any ideas??
Also, can anyone tell me how to force a DPF regen with Carly (latest version) as I couldn’t work out how… unless it’s not available due to the weird soot reading??
Cheers

Well, in the DPF there surely is no soot to burn. Personally I wouldn't bother. Instead I would run the EGR test to capture the new pressure readings across the DPF ;)

Looks like as VW sells cylinder head as a fairly complete package.
Also it seems it will be soon on a clearance sale...
Well, it seems that there was a retrofit kit for DPF available.
Good to know. I do 100 miles a day when I use it, all dual carriageway to and from work. Usually rumbling along at 60 at just over 2k rpm. That keep the DPF clear you reckon?
...doesn’t move, loads of lube and a rubber mallet to break the joints.
Just working out the part numbers for what I’m going to need to replace.
There appear to be multiple part numbers for the CAT to DPF V-Band clamp and the double sleeve clamp joining the DPF rear clamp to the rest of the exhaust.
OP says dpf and EGR remap?
So was the EGR blanked off and mapped out?
The DPF is probably clogged with burnt crusty oil... So was this mashed though and mapped out?
Official route on a new turbo is to replace the cat,dpf and oxygen sensor.... But thats costly.
...years old next May, currently approaching 12000 miles, full camper conversion. I only do shortish journeys and never had any issues with the DPF as I monitor with Carista and always let the regen complete even if it means going a slightly longer way home. Before its second service, the Regens...
Under the fabric is the differential pressure sensor for the DPF. The two rubber pipes connecting in are from either side of the DPF to measure the pressure variation.
...puzzle for you guys :D
I own a VW T6 2017 2.0 TDI (150 HP), 300,000 kilometers (186K miles)
I have a weird situation. I had both EGR and DPF deleted (none of the hardware removed) on my van and after that sometimes it would not start. No crank. If I would hold the key turned, it would...
