VW California Ocean T6.1 DPF and AdBlue

[@richardtingle466]

At last a fantastic insight into how the systems work with real information about ignition on after refilling the system addblue for 30 seconds before starting and not overfilling the system which are essentially parts. A great explanation of the DPF and how it works. Fantastic thanks 🙏

A higher idle rpm is a giveaway also. Make a note of what rpm your vehicle normally idles at. Then when you are about to turn off your engine, check the idle rpm, if it is higher than normal continue to drive if you can, that way it doesn't interrupt the dpf regeneration cycle. If its not possible or convenient to continue driving, when you switch off your engine you will usually find your fans blazing trying to rapidly cool down the engine / exhaust system (containing the dpf) This is because the vehicle raises its temperature to burn off the gathered diesel particulates in the dpf from the exhaust gas (soot).

Exactly! Cheers.

Hi Chris, There's a hole to the left of the top hinge to store the AdBlue cap when filling

[@CaliforniaChris]

Great tip! Thanks.

Hi Chris .I have a grand California 600 But when I looked in the foot well on the passenger side there was no jak .? Should there of been one the space is there for one.

Great videos, really enjoy them. So much so that we travelled 100+ miles to come and order a new 6.1 Ocean from you two weeks ago. We were ready to order but no finance figures were on your systems at the time. Sadly, the salesman has never got back to us since. Very disappointing, however I will continue to watch your videos.

[@CaliforniaChris]

Hi, thank you for your comment. I'm sorry to hear about your experience. If you'd like to give me more details you can email me at [e-mail] Again, I'm sorry to hear about your disappointing experience.

Thanks, really useful as don’t currently have adblue vehicle. Appreciate this is a few years old but I have a couple of questions - adblue volume units, I guess this doesn’t change other readings in the vehicle ie mpg doesn’t become kilometres per litre? And 2, DPF regen - My typical run only has a max of 10 mins on fast roads before I have to slow down to below the regen window, I can then go back up into the regen zone but again need to slow down a number of times until I arrive at work between 30-45 mins from start. Will the regen continue once back in the zone, or does it reset to the start again awaiting for the right conditions. I understand ideally it needs to be one continuous activity but that means taking the vehicle out specifically for regen in mind.

Many thanks for info mate...

A little off topic, but regarding the engine choices. So you have basically two 2.0 diesel engines as a choice for the California Ocean. Or you have a choice between 150ps coast and 200ps ocean. Are they exactly the same engine,, but with different map? If so is there any reason why someone can not remap the 150 to give 200ps? Or are they two completely different engines?

[@sprecklesville]

real useful - thanks

Good video :) When is the full EV version due out so we can finally abandon diesel? Thanks :)

[@CaliforniaChris]

Good question! The eTransporter is a step in the right direction, but we might have to wait a while to see an electric California.
