...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...
Just to update on this (and it isn't good news).
I booked it in to a DPF specialist and following 2 hours of diagnostics, the DPF filter is damaged beyond repair and the oil level is above maximum and contaminated (was only changed a few months ago).
Way forward now is:
Oil and filter change...
I'm in Ireland..2018 bi turbo doing very short journeys. Had egr delete and dpf gutted. It won't pass NCT test now it's equivalent to MOT. Will I need a new dpf and if so how much do they cost
...A4 seems to just be giving me problem after problem at the minute. Back story for context - Had mutiple issues over the last two years with the DPF. It’s has two regens done and recently it came up with DPF error again so this time I decided to go an actual DPF cleaner company. The man came...

Nice one thank you - don't mind paying for apps if they're good
Will have a look later
I had an engine warning light come on (Amber) roadside assistance said it was DPF sensor and vw should change under warranty
Got to VW who agreed and booked it in
Turns out it was not the sensor at all! The entire DPF FILTER was hanging down minus its sleeve, the theory is someone was...
...well documented here and all over the internet but I'd like to hear from people whos vans have had a replacement engine and either:
a) had a new DPF/EGR fitted
b) kept the same DPF/EGR with a new engine (this is what the previous owner did with mine, hence another new engine needed!)
c)...
Another one bites the dust...
How is your DPF? What kind of regen frequency do you get?
I still think a blocked DPF is the biggest cause of these turbos failing
Based on the numbers it seems the normal soot calculated range on this engine for active DPF regeneration is from 9 to 30 grams. Thus DPF regen is triggered at 30 grams of soot calculated.
The app's percentage calculation seems to assume a range of 0...24 grams. In the app only upper limit can...
Worth noting, I’ve not had any dpf related codes,
I’ve not had any dpf related lights in the dash.
I did do a forced regen through vcds and the dpf light on the dash did come on and off as you would expect so I know it works !
Strange that my issue could be blocked dpf but the diagnostic has...
Ya as everyone has said before no way should your transporter be down shifting or struggling at 70mph.. does sound like something it limiting it and if no dpf to clog it up.. assume all wheels spin freely and no bearing issues or brakes binding?
The turbo had seized and apparently the honeycomb like material on the dpf had broken and was no longer functioning properly. The heating was working perfectly when I took it to them and had no other problems other than the turbo and dpf but it comes back with these issues. I looked on line and...
