how to burn dpf using vcds

[@jamiemills954]

Awesome video. Straight to the point and covered the parameters/values necessary to check proper DPF functionality and regeneration. Thank you very much for your expertise!

We just recently bought our first DPF car, Audi A4 2.0TDI (2014), and just after we bought it, I somehow remembered why we shouldn't have bought a modern diesel. First of all, we have too cold for those in Finland for about 6 months per year. And, that is especially true if you are like us, short tripping a lot. Car is very rarely getting warm enough. So, I bought this used VCDS cable mainly just because of this, doing manual DPF burning. Because we have had many VW's and Audi's, I should have bought this years ago already, but I have managed with basic OBD11 this far. My question is, that is it harmful to make this manual burning too frequently? Should I always wait for some value to rise to a certain amount, or keep it as clean as possible?

Hello, any regeneration is not good for the engine and turbine, too frequent regeneration may result in oil accumulation, or actually oil [fuel] added to the oil. WV increases the rpm when it starts at 1000 rpm, then you know that the car is burning out, don't worry about this process, drive at a constant speed. idle speed dropped to 900 rpm or when stationary, holding the pedal at 2000 rpm, then the car will start, you can buy DPF control, which makes a sound when the engine starts. so don't fire vcds, just wait until the car starts and don't interrupt

[@NightwishArena]

@@vag8ukthanks for the answer, but that is exactly the problem, it will get interrupted almost certainly when it starts randomly. Most of my wife's driving is 1-2km at the time and about 10-20 times per day. Even the longest trips are usually about 5-10km. And she has a very busy schedule on her work, so she don't have time to wait if it starts. This is why I thought it would be ideal to do it manually.

No point in buying a diesel if it only does 10km or short journeys.

Thank you, great info 🤙

Hello thanks for the video, Just finished my first regen on my 2012 Passat TDi. The difference pressure is staying around 29-30 hPa. Oil ash volume is 0.13. Soot calc 1.3g soot measure 1.01. Is that pressure for hPa too high?

[@vag8uk]

so the pressure is too high. it should be between 4 hpa and 8 hpa. try using some kind of cleaning agent, there is a video of how I do

I've just serviced my caddy 1.6tdi after its been hammering regenerations every couple of days. And I've been getting beeping flashing oil light. There must have been almost a litre of diesel in the oil. I had to quickly empty the drain pan and go again with a 5 litre drain pan. So about 5.75 l of old oil came out, 4.5 litres went back in.. I have a feeling im lucky it didn't have a catastrophic runaway engine.

[@orkidimadh]

which cable are you using for connection? and How many minutes did it take to finish the regeneration? Thanks

[@vag8uk]

Hello, I don't know what cable I have, I bought it with vcds. Burning should take 20 minutes and a maximum of 30 minutes, if it takes too long, vcds will stop

Thank you great information :-)

Hey thanks for the info I've just tried to do a pdf burn it starts ok then the revs just go to idle. Says running but doesn't do anything else. Temps are just sitting steady at 130etc .

[@vag8uk]

this means it doesn't fire. you tried again

[@Hopperchops]

@@vag8uk yes thanks i tried again and it worked was just above temp so it could have been that also 👍

[@nenadradosavljevic5704]

is that vcds is original or clone ? i have some 23.11.0 vcds and i don t have option for dpf ?

[@vag8uk]

Hello, I have the original one but I bought it on ebay. but it makes no difference whether original or copy. the question is whether you have dpf or someone cut it out

[@nenadradosavljevic5704]

@@vag8uk i have a dpf byt when i go into "engine" i can't get dpf in basic settings no option

[@vag8uk]

Have you tried it in another car and see if this option will show up ?

[@MaurizioCarrar]

hi, have you tried the dpf reset function

[@nenadradosavljevic5704]

I do it with delphi .... but my vcds won't do it .

[@chefonthemove]

My give me an error can you help me?

[@vag8uk]

do you have vcds
