Thanks. Exactly the sort of recommendation I was looking for.Vag dpf for Android is good for monitoring , the free version will tell ye basic stuff like distance and time from last regen and how much soot build up there is and will also show you when it's doing a regen ,I don't have the paid version but looks like the paid version will have a bit more info like dfp and egr temps and a calculation of the ash stored in the dpf ,that's the only one I have used. It also works with your Carista aswell
Don't know but there isn't any sign of it presently in the latest app version.Did I dream that Carista were beta'ing something like this in the Carista ap?
not on iPhone though.As far as am aware you still have to download the vag dpf app but works great with your Carista
Fortunately I don't have an iPhone.not on iPhone though.
He is a member of this forum, I'll see if I can find his username..Sorry it doesn't work on iPhone which is a shame , would be great if there was a way to add it to Carista app for iPhone users, is there a way to ask the developer for this to happen ?
@EdH That is interesting. I'm not so much concerned with forced regen (yet), but I would certainly like to know what my particulate levels are as i'm an iphone user (not by choice... )I got a beta version, and I have been sending Carista some reports regarding few small tweaks, lights, mirrors etc. The other day I had a following email regarding DPF.
We are contacting you regarding our new DPF tool, and more precisely, we would like you to test it out. To do so, you can click on the service button and then on the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration button.
In there, you will have instructions about how to use the DPF regeneration tool, and once you have completed a regeneration, we would like you to give us feedback in response to this email, if possible.
Thank you for your time, and looking forward to hearing from you.

Is it worth me getting on the beta version for this? Have you had any issues with your van after using the beta?
Thanks
Here are some screenshots of VAG DPF in action during a regen, btw I pulled over to take each shot
A small egg timer symbol appears when it wants to do a regen but is not yet hot enough, then the colour changes as the DPF surface temperature rises, then returns back to normal as it finishes and cools back down.
I spent yesterday doing very short journeys so the regen didn’t get finished each time and clocked up 20 miles in the process over about 4 engine starts. Once it gets up to temp it will do the regen quite quickly, under 4 miles is typical for my van.
So is this a free app or subscription based, what module do you have/need? It look good, how to obtain one. Thanks in advance.
