DPF monitor - how to read

[Ladymary86]

Hi all.

Total newbie to this so please bear with.

I got a Carista Evo and the VAG DPF monitor to show me when a regen is happening on T6.1


I’ve noticed the Post Injection 3 reading is always high? What is this and should I be concerned? 1 & 2 don’t seem to be providing a reading, seems to be on 0.

Thanks!

A screenshot of your view would be helpful.

I just got a dongle and VAG DPF, seems to be working ...

Any thoughts on why Oil Ash Residue isn't giving a reading? Van only has 4,500 miles on it, also the details on VAGDPF say it may not be fully compatible with the DNAA engine so may be that?

Anyone else with DNAA that has that reading please?

Well that was exciting!

¼ tank of fuel, less than 2000rpm (60 on a dual carriageway) so that's those myths out the way. 17 minutes for regen.

mine doesn't start a regen untill around 130%, but also when it's finisehed it reads around 30% full, it regens around every 180 miles mainly local driving.
is there a way to reset it, as it seems out of sync?

Mine went to 100% then started the regen, went down to 30% I think.

Think there's something in the settings about calibrating the %age. Not sure (and I'm not going at to the van to connect as it's peeing down here.

Actually yeah, 'Field Regeneration Limit' in the settings looks to be what you're after.

I don't know, it's certainly not clear from the description text.

@Madpasty - change Field Regeneration Limit to 30 (grams) for your engine

Unfortunately there is no such a setting for the "cleared" DPF so it will remain at 30%.

@mmi - how do you know all this clever stuff? Are you a vehicle electronics designer or something?
