...perplexed by the way the car runs.
Mostly it bowls along well, if very slow through the gears from D1 to D3. Then every so often it goes into DPF regen mode (I'm assuming), and gulps diesel whilst at the same time running really badly. Power loss accompanied by rough running, as well as...

Has the ECU been remapped?
I would propose to monitor temperatures along the exhaust - preferably all 4 sensors - minimum DPF input temperature.
Ideally using VCDS, or something like -...
I have a T6 Caravelle, CXEB 150Kw Engine, that goes into limp mode.
It needs the DPF to regen, but that has gone too sooty for normal regen, due to running with fuel light on.
Hence need to force regen.

...may fix this, had it a lot on the transporters the emissions system software was plagued with bugs.
May need the adblue tank cleaning as it could of crystallised in the tank.
Yes dpf issues can cause adblue not to work but we've also seen it where adblue issues can be misdiagnosed as a dpf...
By a local garage clears issue for around 300miles then dpf light appears and clears a few days later seems to be a cycle eventually dpf light goes out and flashing coil and engine management light comes on
I’ve jus come to check the DPF after it’s overnight marination, there’s what looks like some sort of vortex generator inside the AdBlue injector hole.
Surely this cannot aid airflow?!
Hi All,
Looking for a bit of advice… my T6 150PS is constantly doing regens, 3-4 times per tank it seems. With some needing to be forced due to engine light and glow plug light coming on. (Fault code 23967)
Soot levels never exceed 15-20g before it starts trying to regen again.
Now the...
150-200 miles, get yourself a Carista and download this dpf app DPF Monitor for VAG
You can pay a one-off charge for the app, but use Carista for free as the Bluetooth connection.
As MMI says, it may cause the DPF to not do regens, and if that is the case depending on how many miles you will do between now and June, I probably wouldn't leave it that long.
