I’m into it a lot more than the list price cost lol but that’s a result of a new radio to match etc because my car is a 2014. It’s possible and definitely worth it but it’s not something that you can just plug in and it’ll work.
While I’m in the pic thread, let’s have a pic of the car
killer alloys ;)

hey lads i just got my dpf cleaned by an allegedly profesional company who forgot to tell the ecu that i have a new filter, as they told me, so its not good and the vag app is showing the last known results so make sure they do it if you decide to let it cleaned i will update how its functioning and how often it regenerates after the ecu remap???

Do I need to plug in some additional adapter to make the app work? Or I just connect it to my car via Bluetooth? Thanks
ELM327 Bluetooth OBDII adapter but dont get the cheapest, sure there are many people who are good with them but about the same who wasted that money and later bought the more expensive lets say a £15-20 one should be okay but of course people can sell you a lemon for the same price as well

The solution to the problem is simple. Get a Petrol!!! They are vastly superior and don’t suffer any of this utter crap.
Why buy a diesel? The scratty few mpg more is wiped out by 10p litre more expensive, dpf and other certain problems, a horrible racket with vibration, manky mess everytime you fill up and they are spewing out nox and particles multiple times what they claimed.
Sorry I really detest diesels in smaller cars.
Well let me put it this way in my country the diesel is cheaper by 15p/liter and i did 460K km in 4years and its a lot. Never had a diesel car and god be my witness i hate them but once it saves money u no... money talks especially in a eastern block country
and considering it didnt cost me anything except regular maintenance i will let it cleaned amd still happy because... money

You could try some dpf cleaner to see if it makes a difference, personally i've found Dipetane to be the best on other cars I've owned, some people claim it's snake oil but I found it worked on my Peugeot.
200k miles is good, on the Pug I owned anything above 100k miles and the dpf was needing replacing, I had it cleaned twice and used dipetane to keep it going but after a while replacement was the only option.
Removing the dpf altogether was an option here in Ireland too as they currently don't check for the filter in the NCT (our equivalent of an MOT) but there are talks that they are going to start checking in the future.
As for polluting particles, all the dpf does is capture the larger soot particles from the exhaust and burn them up into smaller particles and fires them out the exhaust anyway. The idea is that the larger particles are worse for humans so the dpf was devised to stop them. People with a straight through pipe instead of the filter have passed emissions tests in the NCT.
very appreciate the tip i want to get it cleaned but first i need to find somebody who can do it properly so it will last a while. the thing im not sure about are the sensors inside if they will be ok after cleaning or may last another week or two and i will need a new filter anyway

No chance you can fix that with a quick blast! Will either need taking to a cleaner or a new dpf. If you go for a cleaning service it would be great to hear how it goes.
I calculated mine should hit 100% at 231,000 miles so fits with how long yours has lasted.
Hey im a resident of Slovakia (eastern block) so an MOT test cost me +20€ and i can literally bring a bucket of rust with two licence plates and i will pass ... so a total delete cut out thing is what im thinking about... trust me i have a fresh MOT on a 3.5 litre swaped bmw e30 deift car originally 1.8 but the cleaning is an option as well but a lot of fake car mechanics with a questionable quality are here as well so not sure i would trust a 100-150€ cleaning offer

Have I read that right....283,000 miles?? Surely not the original DPF?
Either way, yes, looks like the dpf needs replacement.
thank you, so this means it is already bad? or i should expecting it soon to go bad? oil ash residue at 116% doesnt sound good
is there any way it will clean itself with driving on high revs, agressively? or there is no chance to prolong its lifetime?

Swear to god original, only the water pump was changed. the car was doin 90% highways since new
