Hi, have asked about a regen before but wondered if anybody new what RPM should be reached when undertaking a Service Regeneration through VCDS? Mine goes up to around 1500 rpm but sure when the garage did one with their Snap On diagnostic kit it went up to around 3000 rpm?

It's not something I've ever had to do but an Octavia normally has a rev limit of around 2500 rpm in neutral so 3k seems unlikely.

 

A quick google suggests 1300-1400rpm so 1500 rpm is probably normal.

 

Nothing mentioned on ross-techs page regen page unfortunately: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Diesel_Particle_Filter_Emergency_Regeneration

langers2k, thanks for the reply, did check out ross tech's pages as well. Just wondered if it would (should) over ride the ecu and set the engine speed higher. As I know the guy at the garage who did it might have a run back to him and see what happens if he gives his equipment another go?

Am I out of date on MOT testing then because I thought that the revs were higher than that for the emission test, I have not actually watched one for a few years now admittedly.😀

I had my Yeti MOT'd in the UK before re-registering it in France, I used a friend that did all my cars before I moved to France.

 

He could not carry out the emissions test because it needed all 4 wheels to be turning to rev above 3.5k, it was passed with the mention that the emissions test could not be carried out.

 

The brake test had to be done with an old school Tapley meter again because it was a 4x4.

 

And by virtue of the French registration process that MOT is valid for 2 years

 

Not quite sure how I would get on if I were pulled driving it in the UK after 12 months.
