I have just purchased a 2017 transporter 204 t32 with 45k miles on it
The engine light is on and the coil light is flashing when i purchased it, i was aware there are issues to fix on it, so got is for a good deal
I did scan it before purchase and it came back DPF issues and EGR issues as listed below
Fast forward a few weeks later, just had it plugged into a vw odis laptop by a friendly vw tech and they recommened first thing to do as the DPF is at 60g soot level is to do a forced regen or 2
The egr issue could be a result of the bolcked DPF, so the first thing is to try to reslove the DPF issue
Now today i connected my laptop to try to do a forced regen on it , but as the soot level is at 60g its above the 50g limit of the odis DPF regeneration proccess
In the job order on odis it did come back as the DPF regen as the first task to do
The problem i no have is how to clear out some of the soot to get it below the 50g max limit, i was think of buying some that foam type chemical cleaner to put in the front part of the DPF in the hope it might clear it out abit in order to bring it down under the 50g soot level
i was thinking of getting the Normfest DPF100 - diesel particle cleaner and spray it into the front part of the dpf after taking out one of the sensors, like in this youtube video on a mercedes van
This question are :
1) is it ok to use these type of DPF cleaners on the T6
2) is it a better option to remove the DPF to try and chemicaly clean it
3) if i am able to bring the soot level under 50g is it advisable to then do a couple of forced regens
