Welcome Michael 🤝 Car's looking good.

@SurreyJohn It seems I managed to interpret the <2,000rpm wrong (I read that as greater than, so apologies) The cleaning product that got me past the "wall" of the DPF regen not getting below 15g of soot is called JLM DPF cleaner, I am sure some will say snake oil, but after this I could regen the car to under 1g of soot. VCDS is a software platform and a hardware cable to scan and perform coding changes on your car, if you was to buy, then you need HEX-V2 as your car is after 2015 to read all modules https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/262215-list-of-vcds-owners-previously-known-as-vag-com-vcp-owners/

Just send via private message function.

As above, but get a wired baseline result first. Then you can walk around checking the WiFi, which will have range issues.

The SD card is above your hazard switch I think, harder to tell with images. If you don't have the glovebox unit, then the whole radio is behind the screen.

See if you can drive car to somewhere (maybe even Halfords) to get the radio removed (afaik you should have a unit in glovebox) Once this is done, you should be able to take a picture of the sticker on top of the unit and send here. Then emergency firmware can be downloaded in theory by SD Card (you will need to get one if you haven't already of 8GB to 32GB, firmware is usually around 4GB) Example image (VW, but close enough)

I can send a link for the firmware, but this won't solve the unlock. A dealer should be able to provide and input the code, otherwise the free choice needs more work (no such thing as a free lunch) You need to enable developer engineering mode, and install a toolkit to hack the unit. You need VCDS or similar to enable this extra hidden menu.

So it's in emergency download. @pab567 I assume he needs to pull radio out of glovebox to find the installed firmware? If not, supply a VIN maybe.

@SurreyJohn I think our OP is driving above 2,000 rpm from his last post, but you are spot on though about the rev ranges need to be in the correct range. As @ApertureS has mentioned the diagnostic report would be good if he could get hold of it (no doubt they won't supply details to him sadly) I picked up my car this Summer, and driving it back the exhaust light came on (it does this after 1hr if it cannot do active regen) most of my journey was 60mph and not enough rpm to do regen. Once home, I was able to scan the car, and the oil ash was fine, but soot was measured high, tried a static regen in local supermarket carpark and it came down from 22g to a "wall" at around 15g measured. I agree that odds are you probably had a fault caused by too many short journeys during lockdown (as many others have found) that may have caused the soot to build up and struggle to clean down. I took my car to a friend's garage who put down some foaming cleanser that he said is better than the liquid that just sits at bottom of DPF, after a few stop/starts and 2,500rpm held while he put cleaner in, the car was put back together and I went for a quick drive to clear exhaust of the foam. Back to garage and plugged in my VCDS to do a static regeneration, and the soot that was "stuck" at 15g, dropped to under 1g. Speaking of VCDS, it might be an idea to let on where you are in the Country so you might find someone with VCDS to do an independent scan, and if you like I can ask my friend what product he put in.

Available is 0369 update, even the old firmware has the features inside, but they are only enabled via codes! You can pay some independent workshops or main dealer to active, and there's also a "free" option where you patch the unit to unlock all the codes.

Take a picture, sounds like emergency firmware download option.

Try to hold down the Menu button for 10 seconds to get the Software Train information, this also has the firmware update button you need.

At least it was ruled out. Hopefully you can get it sorted.

Way too early, but could indicate a fault elsewhere (unless car was clocked) For £3k, I would take it off for cleaning. Well you don't always have to remove to clean it.

I will send over 0516 version for SEAT, just be careful with installation with SWaP codes.

Yup, will send over in a moment (it'll be faster than mib server)

In theory yes. Did you still need this file?

It's also 0369 version, link to follow in a few minutes

0369 is available. Sending link now in PM.

@veggersHold down your Menu/Setup button for about 10 seconds, this is the hidden service menu (engineering)

I can send you link to 0490 version in PM in a few minutes

Welcome Matt, hope you have a great time here 🤝

MHI2_ER_SKG13_P4526 MU 1440 Is the available update

PM on it's way You have latest
