Total Shutdown

[Pistol p]

Just a quick question. What could cause 2018 T6 to have a complete shutdown? It won't respond to anything, its just happened and is being recovered right now, there were no warnings lights at all. The van is in vgc and has had a recent trip to AMD for remapping which was straight forward.

Can you read anything from the OBD port with Carista/OBD11 or similar?

Additional info, apparently the regen light had come on and the van lost power. I will report more when I can OBD it.

Did it shutdown while driving, or after it was turned off (and would not turn on again) ?

When you say " completely shutdown" what do you mean ?
Died and refuses to turn over ?
Died and turns over but refuses to start?
Died and has no electrical power at all ?

I'm gonna have a stab in the dark and guess that the dpf is completely full and it won't run because it can't pass anymore gas .

That was my first thought as well

Yes looking like a blocked DPF or fuel issue. No OBD codes.

Losen the front of the dpf so that exhaust gases can get past easily and see if it starts/runs .....(yes it will sound like a very loud tractor )

It does start but doesn't want to run. I'll get stuck into on Thursday.
