...service garage to only fill oil to the same level.
With regard to your VAG app, you're at 23g of soot calculated, 77% of the way to starting a regen.139 miles since last regen, I would expect mine to start around 180 miles.
Your oil Ash residue at 52.98g is basically the life of your DPF, at...
...is closed (0=no recirc)
I would have expected the ECU throw a fault code + dash DPF light etc. if something would have inhibited it to do a regen. Also an indication of something being seriously wrong were the zeros for soot calculated and soot measured (post #46)
Based on the data...
Not yet. I have Carista & thought it might be risky to force a regen as it's only to be done under certain conditions?
Normal regens are happening about every 150 kilometres currently.
If I do a forced regen do I drive it when I start that or lesve it standing while it completes?
Hi all, after much head scratching with the help of the forum I established the annoying noise at idle was in fact a regen. However, it’s making a fair old whistling type noise when the regen is happening, it’s a bit intermittent but for the most part it sounds like wind in a tunnel (not...
Just completed a regen on my last drive home, so compared VCDS with the OBD app on Carplay.
VCDS is reporting:
and Scanner is reporting:
So looks like it is all working correctly, and just need to wait for next regen to kick in.
...of driving at a certain engine speed for a period of time is a myth.
I monitor the DPF with the app and see it will passively or actively regen under almost any circumstance, as long as the conditions for temperature at largely met. It’s not fussy on fuel quantity either, it seems, and will...
It looks like your van is doing the regens required, so no need for forced regens. The only reason for needing forced regens is if you are doing mostly short trips, so the van never gets to meet the conditions required to do a normal regen.
As @merdzo says the regens only burn off the soot, and...
VAG DPF app should show a percentage level at the top.
Mine hit 100% this morning at bang on 30g and started a regen as I pulled into the work car park.
or take to a local garage and bung them a drink.?
...
why? - oil level too high?
T6.1 with diesel was from Regens?
oil change without going underneath?
Thanks. That’s what I thought. Would it regen with eg a trip down the motorway? Or just gradually fill till needing a forced regen. This I can’t do as no access to Carista etc.
Hi,
Looking for some advice, been having DPF issues, had a DPF cleaner come out who managed to force a regen and get levels down, but now back up to 41g over thresh hold of regen after 4 weeks. He previously recommended doing an oil change as oil quality was reading bad, which has been done and...
...your mileage it doesn’t seem to cause any harm, it’s just very annoying. And doesn’t sound normal at all :confused:
I checked and the last DPF regen on my car according to VCDS was done exactly around that time when I recorded the video above, so at least on my car it’s somehow related to...
You should notice that the van idles (ticks over) at 1000rpm instead of the usual 800ish while it is performing a regen.
If it’s doing this when you are nearing home then give it a blast until the regen is completed. Might need an extra few miles, but it will save further complications from...
...decided to have a quick look see before going home on the state of the DPF on the Carista.
It said 29.1g soot / 87 hours and 299KM since last regen.
Thought I would keep it plugged in for the journey home as I had never seen what happens in real time.
It added about 0.1g soot every 2minutes...
