How to force dpf regen on vw tdi

how to regenerate 2009-2015 volkswagen tdi golf jetta passat with vcds

[@BlownByBlitz]

What version vcds are you using because it doesn’t let me go into measuring blocks on the caddy but does my Audi petrol

[@jjcc80]

Hi, how often should the DPF start autoregeneration ? how manny miles/km? for a used vw tdi ?

[@mstano83]

Is there a specific model vcds scanner you recommend?

[@joe_outside]

Is it the same procedure for NOx regen, or is it different? Also am i risking damage to my car if my NOx needs a regen and I drive it?

[@elliehollifield7757]

what if my soot measured load is 0.0 but i know it needs a regen ?

[@ericcampbell2360]

Can this be done with out vcds

[@paultraynorbsc627]

Thanks for sharing 👍🇬🇧

[@williecoene6294]

Why would it show an error where it should say brake when I am trying to do a regeneration for diesel particulate filter while standing?

[@kyleroethle8835]

Mine was doing the same thing you have to enter the security ode every time. Has worked for me since.

[@CODxFUNxMAN]

How do you enable the regen function. When your spot load measured is zero? What makes it go up to make it not error out during a regen?

[@ERAutomotive]

If it’s zero u don’t need to regen

[@FastDiesels]

I have It on 0 but DPF light is still on...

[@MegaArsa75]

Thank you very much.

[@ajarnpat5976]

How do you determine the code? I have a SEAT alhambra 2.0tdi, 2007?

[@ERAutomotive]

Vcds tells u

[@chefonthemove]

I don’t know if u can help me but I insert de 27971 code and give me a error

[@davevis1433]

Try in VCDS Options at User Interface and Identification to fill in all the Workshop fields. This is also needed to code for example a new injector

[@RidixGaming]

Will the regen stop on its own or will I have to manually stop?

[@ERAutomotive]

It will stop

[@unstoppabull1428]

I just ordered my Hex V2 tool and downloaded the software. I'm wondering if this is going to raise the coolant temperature when I perform this fix?

[@ERAutomotive]

Just normal coolant temp should be seen Same as when it does a regen while driving

[@unstoppabull1428]

@@ERAutomotive thank you!

[@MrDixe]

hello cant see that option on my vcds its 21,3 ? what to do ?

[@ERAutomotive]

Which car?

[@bradykice8759]

What temp in celcius does the coolant need to be to force the regen, the car I’m in doesn’t have a temp gauge

[@ERAutomotive]

I’d have it at normal operating temp 90c aprox

[@bradykice8759]

Man wasn’t expecting quick reply, but I’m trying to do force regen and each time it gives me a green light and says abort. But I’m trying to do the regen to hopefully get the egr cleared out

[@ERAutomotive]

Are you doing driving or stationary I’ve only ever done stationary

[@bradykice8759]

Stationary

[@ERAutomotive]

Do u have codes stored I don’t think it’ll let you do it if there’s codes stored

[@kirbycollins3223]

Can that Program be Purchased for a Laptop, Tablet or Computer? You Can Regenerations Be Done with a OBD2 Scan Tool (Snap on, Matco)

[@ERAutomotive]

Yes it’s available for pc If u google Ross tech or vcds you’ll find it I’m not sure if Snapon or Matco scan tools can do it I’ve never looked for the option on them

[@user-yp6fz7ox7l]

Mine is 0.18L Oil Ash Volume, car is 260k. km. Is my DPF for replacing or can go more?

[@ERAutomotive]

It’s fine just keep going

[@user-yp6fz7ox7l]

@@ERAutomotive Thanks. I thought that the limit is 0.17L, do you think there is a way to judge when to replace it?

[@ERAutomotive]

When I get codes saying it’s failed If it ain’t broke don’t fix it lol

[@gytisfitness]

PLEASE HELP! Using " Carista" Car is in limp mode. Took out my dpf last week, sent it off to a legit company to get it cleaned, soot levels stayed the same "57%" before and after cleaning. Can I still preform a stationary regeneration using carista? Or I've no more options?

[@ERAutomotive]

Yes perform a regen Either driving or stationary

[@starboyl2548]

I did dpf regen on Passat, no standing option. only regen while driving.

[@hamzaalami9787]

How it s working for you I did the same a week ago is it dangerous

[@joynalsayadi7423]

How comes I don't get all those options on my vw crafter

[@ERAutomotive]

I’m not sure we don’t have those over here Maybe different ecu family and doesn’t Have same options I’m not sure sorry

[@chrisratay]

Thanks. 1) Is it the same process for a T6.1 2) If DPF clogged due to high altitude driving (here in South America), does the oil need to be changed due to pollutants getting recycled?

[@tommyboi0]

I think you would get the answer to your question faster on a website called diag period net. Obviously can't put the actual website name or it will be blocked by YT

[@chrisfangeat6651]

I took my 2015 passat into the dealer after it went onto limp mode. They tried a regeneration to no avail. They said there was too much soot and I would need a new Dpf at a cost of $3000. Is there any way around this besides a new dpf or dpf delete?

[@ERAutomotive]

Get it to regen Or remove and clean

[@ProctoLogic]

clean it with soap and water

[@JamesHamp93]

Use caustic tfr. It can be done on the car or take it off and clean it. Will need to rinse well and give the car a good run at fairly high rpm for a while after.

[@bsrcat1]

I wish I would have watch the video and heard the 30 minutes part... I got to take a leak in my foot is stuck on the gas pedal 😭🤣🤣🤣

[@edwardwritt3820]

🤣

[@craftedpixelwebsitedesigna3576]

Mk7 golf gtd? Same thing? As they love a regen but never finish it off

[@ERAutomotive]

Yes same process This was on a standard golf

[@craftedpixelwebsitedesigna3576]

@@ERAutomotive brill, soot measured 26g surely I thought dpf light wouldn’t come on with this amount

[@craftedpixelwebsitedesigna3576]

Done the regen today, very straight forward, measured at 25g not calculated at 0.12g ❤

[@timbenracing]

Any idea what it means when my soot load calculated shows 55.8 and measured is 55.5

[@ERAutomotive]

Almost time for a regen And that small difference I wouldn’t worry about at all

[@timbenracing]

@ER Automotive thanks for the quick reply. I was wondering because while on the highway today it threw a p0101 p0102 and p2463 excessive soot. As soon as I clear they come right back. I'm at a loss at the moment.

[@ERAutomotive]

Does the car have any warranty left ? As the warranty was extended If so I’d just take it to the dealer and let them deal with it If not see if u can force the regen by either use of vcds or driving on highway under the conditions to get the car to automatically do the regen

[@timbenracing]

@ER Automotive no warranty left. Just got around 125000 on it. Supposedly the dpf was replaced just after I bought it I took it for other codes amd haven't had trouble since. Thanks for the help. I tried a parked regen and it comes up with abort 33. I'll try a driving one as soon as I can.

[@ERAutomotive]

Oh Good luck, Hopfully it’ll complete a driving cycle

[@fladoodel]

Straight pipe time

[@REPORODGE]

I’m afraid it’s a fail today sir!

[@MrWiezeke]

If I try, I can’t see the measure blocks (stays light gray) if I ask for the security code, he doesn’t give me any, if I try yours, it says “code accepted”, the I have to press the brake pedal and the accelerator, then it always abort “for safety reasons” in green….

[@Audigiant]

Your engine temp has to be @ 90 degree Celsius...

[@Braveheart_42IsTheAnswer]

Is it normal for glow plug light to flash during this process?

[@ERAutomotive]

Yes

[@nathanielperry820]

Mine flashes because I need a new egt sensor which is causing my dpf to not be able to do auto regen

[@douglasboyles7550]

Was this done on a uds or non uds vehicle?

[@ERAutomotive]

The video was taken on a 2011 golf Believe non uds

[@mladic86]

what this actual does !?

[@ERAutomotive]

It commands a Dpf regen to take place Useful for people who do a lot of city driving and have a “clogging” dpf

[@mladic86]

@@ERAutomotiveooo okay thanks

[@CaitlinMDillon]

@@ERAutomotive I havent done much highway driving(mayb 20min at a time) n my car (2012 Jetta TDI Manual trans) just went into limp mode. Car shudders n glow plug light blinks once wen I hit 4th gear. No other lights illuminated n the glow plug light only flashes once wen it shudders. After turning the car off n back on its fine until I once again hit about 4th gear n it again flashes once, shudders, limp mode. Im not getting the DPF light or check engine light.Of course I dont have a scanner anymore and the dealership is booked until the 1st. Hoping its not anything really big.

[@tc6730]

How much it would take at the dealership approximately?

[@ERAutomotive]

I’m not sure what the dealer charges to force a regen

[@jonathansaam5]

I tried multiple times last night. Couldn't get it to work.

[@McGeeRF]

You know, it sure does say Breaks and 10 times. So I push the Break 10 times. At the same time it says Throttle after pressing the breaks. And it's like, ok which one? Then something happened when I just pressed and held the break, it said to release it. So I did, then it indicated I should press the Throttle after that, so I released the break and held the throttle. Suddenly, it started to show temp data and also said to release the Throttle. And it started up. Perhaps it's 10 break presses, then a Break press and hold. Until it says release, then it's a Throttle hold until it says release at the same time it switches over to Temp measure and regen mode starts after releasing the Throttle as it said to.🎉

[@coryatwood1764]

What a disappointment

[@tommyboi0]

How so?

[@americafirst8218]

Hi there, when I’m asked to step on the brakes 10 times I’m asked to go full throttle but get an error message. Please help

[@ERAutomotive]

Is it up to full operating temp? And the other prerequisites

[@americafirst8218]

@@ERAutomotive yes, I’m having trouble with making it go from off to on. Then the sequence it’s asks me to press the clutch in and step on brakes 10 times. Before I get to that point I’m asked to full throttle then get an error message. It’s probably user error. Although I look at the readings and my soot level is way low but still get a regen needed code. This car is kicking me up and down

[@americafirst8218]

@@ERAutomotive thank you for responding in any case. I did get the regen going but kicks off after about 2 minutes

[@ERAutomotive]

If soot level is low then shouldn’t need regen Also soot level is a prerequisite for the regen to occur i believe
