Is it possible to monitor the condition of the DPF using a VCDS

You can indeed, from ross-tech.

[select]

[01 - Engine]

[Meas. Blocks - 08]

Select both Groups at once 070 and 075.

[Go!]

MVB 070.1: Regeneration Status (xxxxxxx1 = Normal Regeneration active, xxxxxx1x = Forced Regeneration active)

MVB 070.3: Regeneration Counter/Timer

MVB 075.1: Exhaust Gas Temperature before Turbo Charger

MVB 075.2: Exhaust Gas Temperature before Particle Filter

MVB 075.3: Particle Filter Load

MVB 075.4: Exhaust Gas Temperature after Particle Filter

[Done, Go Back]

[Close Controller, Go Back - 06]

Thanks for that, I will give it a go.

What am I doing wrong, measuring block 08 is greyed out.

Do these results look normal?

Don't understand the kilometres since last regeneration 617454m. Is this miles or Kilometrers

Acual mileage of car is 7866 Miles

617454 m = 617 km

56587 s = ~16 h

Sounds reasonable to me.

Ahh' that makes more sense, thank you.

Can you explain why I can't access Meas. Blocks - 08

My guess is that your 2011 Yeti uses UDS protocol. Under UDS, the measuring values are not addressed as measuring groups and blocks. There is a whole new method of addressing them. To look at live measuring values, you need to use the Advanced Measuring Value function which you will note is not grayed out. In Advanced Measuring Values, the values appear in a drop down table. Simply click the box next to the value you wish to see.

I see, that in fact is how I got the values shown above.

Hello,

Just to confirm that in my 2011 Superb it works in the same way.

I have a question in regards of the shown data.

What's the difference between calculated and measured soot?

What of both values is really used to force a DPF regeneration?
