I had the same concern but was assured by the tuner it would regen as before. I believe this is because adblue injection is post dpf?
I’ve been monitoring it on the dpf app, though the frequency is less than desirable when it does regen, the soot mass does drop to the required value.
...get used to the engine tone - and the revs will be higher when at idle.
If you have an Android device, another way to keep an eye on what the DPF is doing is to use the Torque app. I find this information useful to understand - since as alluded to above, my van also loves going into...
...Experience if there is a smoke when full throttle then there is several things that can do this
1. bad map over fuelling on full throttle with a dpf in place this is not good and will lead to the dpf failing.
2. DPF has been removed then this can happen and will need addressing in the map to...
If you are on Android there is VAG DPF (which I use) or on iPhone DPF Monitor
Long thread here of some suggestions and comments:
https://www.t6forum.com/threads/best-dpf-monitoring-app.23342/
One thing to note is that as the DPF is cleared by increased heat counterintuitively if you work the...
There’s a calculated ash value in the ECU for the DPF. It has a limit set, I forget what it is, but when it reaches it, it’s dpf replacement time. I’m sure there are other values also measured that trigger it too.
30k seems low, but my neighbour had a 110 he used to deliver Amazon parcels, lots...
I have a T6 Caravelle, CXEB 150Kw Engine, that goes into limp mode.
It needs the DPF to regen, but that has gone too sooty for normal regen, due to running with fuel light on.
Hence need to force regen.

When I looked into this darkside said I would have to remove the dpf. So I went down the tafmet route instead, 20km with the tafmet fitted no issues and dpf regen as normal. It may the way tuners program out the egr is the only thing I could think that would stop the regen process
Hey mate.
Strongly suspect a fully blocked DPF so it’s back at the dealer now for investigation and possible DPF clean / replacement.
Still not sure if this is the result of some other, underlying issue…. Or just the DPF reaching the end of its life and no longer able to regen.
Will report...
Just to add and forgot to mention, it has apparently had an adblue delete by the previous owner too. If dpf blocked would there not also be a dpf light illuminated as well as the yellow coil (limp mode) lamp? Suppose this is the joys of buying a used vehicle with no real knowledge of what has...
Van is on 96k, original DPF i assume. No paperwork to suggest otherwise.
I've been reading the log on Carista, only gives soot levels.
How would you go about clearing ash residue? Premium fuels etc or DPF off and full flush?
I think it’s well proven that is not the case. DSD do market an empty DPF (off road use), the cynic in me says they have a batch sat in a shed to shift.
That said they also specialise in re-mapping, if the map is for higher output that requires a higher gas flow due to increased fuel...
Ahh, yes, the EML might be on as it wasn't able to do a DPF regen due to the low Adblue level?
If so, then your adblue is correct, mine also shows 6000 miles after filling it. So take it for a long drive and let the DPF regen happen then you should *touches wood* be good.
...and have code P2463.
I’m waiting for the arrival of a Carly OBD scanner which I think allows me to force a regen…
But I’m wondering if the DPF is blocked… why don’t I get the DPF light showing on my dash and instead get the flashing glow plug light and P2463 error code.
And what causes the...
If they can't force regen the dpf, then it won't self regen either. I would be trying to spray a dpf cleaner into the dpf, but I'm guessing you won't have any tools or a friendly garage to help you with this.
If you were able to locate the dpf pressure hose before to dpf and remove that, then...
