Hey guys hope all is well, scoured the internet and this forum for the answers so hopefully I’ve not missed anything.
I’ve got a 2016 Aus spec t6 tdi400 bi turbo with 155000kms on the clock. Bought in January this year and wasn’t in great service condition with no history other than the first service. Had it inspected and all good and the van was cheap as chips compared to any others on the market. Had a full major service done and it hasn’t skipped a beat.
It uses no oil between services and no metal or particles in the oil either. It’s a late 2015 build so unfortunately has the rev C egr which I’m looking to get rid of asap.
Question is I have never seen it do a dpf regen since I bought it. We have driven from Sydney to Perth with it fully loaded as we relocated and at no point did i see a lift in revs/ smoke from the exhaust or any other signs of a regen in that time (5500kms over 2 weeks at 100/110kph). Daily driven now with mostly motorway and some town driving. Still no sign of a regen.
I can’t imagine previous owner has done a delete on the system already so I’m wondering if either I’m missing something or something is wrong? Only codes on the ecu are P008700- fuel rail/ pressure too low. This doesn’t effect the car in any way and starts and drives fine with heaps of power (would it cause it not to regen?)
Am I to assume given no oil loss or regens that maybe I’m lucky with this motor (so far) and I have nothing to worry about or is the lack of it a concern?
Auto elec by trade and would notice straight away if something changed while driving the car eg revs up or blowing smoke.
Sorry for the long post but just chasing some clarification before I pay for a removal and tune that may not be required.
Thanks heaps Matt
