I have a recently purchased VAG-COM from ross tech and i need to do a FORCED DPF REGENERATION on my vehicle but it wont give the security access code when i highlight the box. I have tryed the security access code which should work for all diesel engines which 12233 but doesnt work can anyone help?

 

Vehicle details:

Skoda Octavia vrs tdi 

year: 2007 

engine: 2.0tdi 170pd 

Autoscan?

 

Looking at this page http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Diesel_Particle_Filter_Emergency_Regeneration it seems to suggest 21295 is the correct code to use.

That's just for enabling the dpf light to Come on

I am surprised no code is being prompted as suggested by the wiki.  I've never had one not pop up before

 

[security Access - 16]

• Enter the Code shown by VCDS next to Adaptation Enabling (e.g. Regeneration while Standing)

That's just for enabling the dpf light to Come on

I don't know the specifics as I haven't got a PD engine. I read it as once the code is entered (which may turn the dpf light on) you need to go for a drive meeting the requirements outlined. The soot levels should then drop.

If your trying to do a stationary regen, that page suggests it's only possible with a CR engine.

If it isn't working then I'd suggest posting a thread on the rosstech forums with an autoscan as they can offer better advice :-)

If the dpf light is on then it's in regen mode where you need to go for a drive, preferably uphill, in 5th at around 2k revs. you'll never get a BMN ppd170 to do a static regen...

I bought last week a 12.12 vagcom

Software version 12.12 means what you have bought is almost certainly a third party rip-off not a genuine VCDS lead, that is currently at software version 17.8 (17.10 beta).

 

Ross-Tech (the developers of VCDS) won't give you any support.

We have links with RossTech (lots of genuine cable users) and do not endorse the use of copy cat cables.
