regen

Hi guys, Long time T5 owner and previously suffered from the EGR issues that affected the early 5.1 vans (same also happened on a VW Golf). Very frustrating and expensive experience!! Upgraded to a T6 in November - T6 Shuttle SWB DGS Bluemotion 150 (2016) with 70k on the clock. Pulled in on...

Just listed for sale and this light has just come up! Garage job?

Had an email from Carista support today regarding beta testing a new feature - DPF regen on my T6.1. I've not had chance to try it yet but could be very useful for the those who mainly do short journeys. Will give it a try tomorrow and report back.

Last week I had my T6 serviced, new brakes all round but nothing else special was done to it. On Saturday and Sunday I drove to Leicester for work, down the M1, foggy so took it easy, no head wind, no rush, and the week before same journey, 41mpg, and I would have expected the same or better...

Just wondering if my car is actually doing a regen all the time. When I stop, a lot of the time the fans are still going etc. Even after a long drive. I've heard some engines are prone to regen issues? Anything I, or vw can do? Also, I can't get over 32/34 mpg. Even on a long motorway...

I'm getting sick of 27mpg. After 65k miles I can get 35mpg easily but as soon as it starts regens the fuel level drops and mpg drops off a cliff and it lasts for a good 35miles 3 times per tank. VW cannot find anything wrong. Don't get me started on the lumpy throttle driving during a regen...

DPF Regeneration T28 Highline 150ps 2018 I think it’s poor that you don’t get some sort of warning light as to when the regen process starts. Yes the tickover revs rise to 1000, sometimes you get a smell, fan comes on and sometimes a performance change in the engine. My experience is only the...

Only had my T6 150 for a few weeks and only covered around 250 miles. (20k on the clock) Most of my distance is short journeys. Annual mileage is always around 3 -4k as I work away a lot. Not yet had the experience of the Regen light. I did once hear the fan working after I switched her off, I...

Just wondered if anyone else had noticed it? Van temperature gauges all read normal but 50% of the time after you stop, the fan cuts in. Sometimes it actually smells quite hot! Is this a new vehicle thing? All part of running in etc? Thinking about it, the wife's 1 year old Yeti's fan quite...

So this got released on friday. Available to pre-order now for March delivery apparently. I've just quoted a like for like spec that we typically have on fleet; T28 150PS Highline, metallic, App connect, Composition media, Electric folding mirrors and LED lights. This comes out £200 cheaper...

last two full tanks it has regen at less than quarter of a tank? I mainly do about 15 miles per journey The last tank I’ve just done completed 3 full regen’s Where normally it does only two. Normally on the second regen which is just under half a tank that normally doesn’t regen anymore and...

Forced regen number 2

DPF Regen, Yellow light & AdBlue - Whats it all about? - The DFP light is becoming a more apparent issue with modern diesel vans, unfortunately, it’s a fact of modern diesel life. what is a DPF? Diesel particulate filters (DPF) are very effective in cutting emissions, trapping even the...

I’ve started to use the coasting function to try and get a few more mpg. However with the engine dropping to idle every time I’m off the throttle will this interfere with the regen? Surely a good blat at a constant of over 2000rpm will favour a complete regen cycle over interruptions from...

Hi peeps. All of a sudden my DPF light cam on last Thursday. Took it for a drive and it cleared. Then took it for a long drive out on the Sunday, now it's come on again this afternoon? My Mrs uses it during week and granted she only does 8 miles a day in it. But it's been ok since I've had it...

Is there any chance of a regeneration causing a grass fire when parking on long dry grass. Smells extremely hot when fan is cooling on ignition turn off. Have avoided parking on the longer grass at moment just in case but where is the filter is there any risk?

Long euro 6 rant warning. Well i always know when the van is regenerating. The throttle goes lumpy at low revs/speed due to the retarded timing and turbo boost threshold takes that bit longer to come it. Then the gale force winds when the engine turns off mid way through a regen and the high...

Hi My t6 140 is a year old now and we have covered just over 8000 miles, I have never heard it making jet engine noises or had the fan running when walking away from it. Does the euro5 not suffer with the regen like the euro6, or have I just been lucky Cheers john

Hi Guys Ok i have a t5.1 12 plate and have always just ran 25mm2 to the front seat from a Duralit 140amp split charge to 1 or 2 banner batteries and all has been well in the world Now i've took the plunge and ordered a euro 6 Cherry red LWB van with lots of options for march 1 delivery So...
