VAG DPF App

[Razzertrevor]

Have you gone to settings on the app and selected obd2

I have just bought myself an OBD2 bluetooth transmitter.

 

I always seem to be pulling up outside the house during a passive regen and only realise as I turn the engine off. 

This makes me feel bad as I really like my Octavia and dont really want to be buying a new DPF any time soon.

 

Thus I hope I can time my regens to take the car for a spin where I rag the tits off it to aid the regen of course

Ass your car had the update because if it as you'll be have dpf quicker than you think and you don't need to thrash your car on a regen just drive it normally

Based on the logs provided from VAG DPF I've started to monitor the oil ash value on my 2012 CAYC Octavia. You may also find this info useful.

Since 2017.09 I also use the car in the city (2x12km/day), previously I only used to travel only on highway (180km continuous routes ). I worried about the DPF lifespan and it looks like my concern wasn't irrational if I presume, that the wearing is linear.

I don't think you need to be worried about it as it looks like it's working normally. They aren't designed to last forever and 270,000km is pretty good considering some of the early failures others have experienced.

 

On my CFHC (2.0 140ps), the oil ash is shown in l (litres) rather than g (grams), I don't record it often but I have a figure from April 2016 and another from today:

- 82,000 miles (~132,000km) showed 0.06l

- 137,000 miles (~220,000km) showed 0.1l

 

Assuming the maximum is 175ml which is suggested on various other forums, I might get 240,000 miles (386,000 km) from the DPF. Interestingly, there are people claiming that 175ml isn't the maximum and they've hit 250-300ml before having issues.

 

Based on that, you might find that although 70g is the 'replacement' value for your DPF, it'll keep working above that

Since the ash value is held somewhere, how long before we get 'dpf lifespan correction' services :(

Hi all ,been trying to get the app to work with our new 2018   superb 2.0 TDI 150 dsg but it appears this engine group DFGA is not yet supported .I've been in touch with developer but no joy yet , I've got 2 good quality elm 327 adaptors and tried both but from what he is saying ecu is not playing ball with the app ;(

I can confirm the app now works with DDGA engines ,just got the paid version and works fine now
