So we had this car for a over a year now, no real issues and anytime the DPF light used to come on I would take it for a drive then it would clear after 10 mins of motorway driving.
Granted its used more for local driving and not long distant which is why this is happening and most likely why its become more blocked recently and requiring more active regens.
Fast Forward to last weekend - DPF + coil + engine management light, so done a forced regen via mates VCDS - all ok and measuring block 75 shows around 35% saturation.
Now I have tried to get this value down more but it may need a really long drive? or some cleaner? any recommendations?
I guess if it stays around 35% it will just keep doing passive/active gens more frequently to keep it below 45% or so right?
Finally another code came up as below:
005270 - Switch-over Valve for EGR Cooler (N345) - P1496 - 006 - Short to Plus - MIL - ON
Could the EGR be complaining due to the blockage(s) above? - if its not related I can deal with that side later.
Thank you as ever
