Hello everyone… (car mechanic) I'm slowly becoming desperate… with my car, a Golf 6 1.6 TDI, built in 2013. Unfortunately, I only have more problems. First of all… the EGR was deactivated about a year ago (also with software from the tuner) because it was broken, and I decided to deactivate it for the sake…
I drive a 2018 Benz A 180d W176 with a 7-speed automatic transmission. What rpm should the engine be at, and which gear is best?
Hello dear community, I have a question about cleaning diesel particulate filters (without removing them). Since the DPF on my father's car was full and I was looking for a way to clean it myself, I ordered a license from VCDS to access the control unit and start the regeneration process while the car was…
Maybe someone can say something about it, I would be very grateful for Audi a3 8 P 2.0 TDI 170 hp S Line I have a full DPF – differential pressure is also not so good (see pictures) They tampered with the differential pressure sensor and got the emergency mode working. They drove about 20km,…
Hello everyone, For weeks now I've had the problem that my vehicle only runs in emergency mode. I first tried cleaning it with a spray-on DPF cleaner. I also drove on the highway several times. Unfortunately, it didn't work. The workshop tried to repair it, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. What could be the reason…
As a short-distance driver, can I drive a diesel without major problems if I drive maybe 50km on the motorway per month, or what is the minimum I can do to counteract the DPF and wear and tear from short journeys?
Unfortunately my diesel particulate filter is full and I want to try to clean it myself using cleaner. Where exactly is it located? Do I have to spray the cleaner here?
Good day, yesterday I picked up my vehicle from the workshop, where the diesel particulate filter was removed so that it could be burned out. After about 100km my car started to regenerate again, this time with less or no smoke but I wanted to get to the bottom of the problem. A friend gave…
Good day! I drive a 2015 Skoda Octavia RS, a 184 hp TDI. The car has now covered almost 185,000 kilometers. My daily driving profile looks like this: Monday to Thursday: Morning commute: 7 km (engine does not warm up) 15 km drive back in the evening (engine warms up) Fridays: 22 km each way…
Good morning, I'm considering manually regenerating my DPF. A while ago, my car (a 2012 Ford Kuga I) suddenly went into limp mode with the "Engine Fault" message. The MIL is now permanently lit, and I'm considering whether I should perform a "forced regeneration" or not. There are a variety of opinions online, so I'm…
