Check DPF Soot Levels in VCDS?

[Dannykn9]

Quick one guys, how do I check my actual and calculated soot levels using VCDS? Tried searching with no joy!
I know it is under engine module but not sure how to actually find it? I believe it also tells you mins/hrs since last regen.

All help appreciated.

Cheers

Danny

this is off a a4 forum but it works, i had problems with my sensor so wanted to monitor it.

Go into engine then measure block believe thats 08 then on the selection screen pick number 075 that gives you a percentage of how much is in the

Cheers for that fella, yeah I checked that but the percentage was under lamba reading, is this correct?
Sure I have seen somewhere that it tells you actual soot level and calculated soot level? Or am I going crazy!!
Also do you know how to adapt the new DPF sensor?

Thanks

On my 57 plate A3 170 its under block 70 and 75 and yes lambda % is the correct term; well on mine anyway. i think the terminology changes based upon year and the engine fitted?

Just got the above results, was expecting to see a much higher Lambda % as the fuel consumption is poor given it's 70% motorway, only getting about 430 miles for a full tank(07 2.0tdi 170 DSG S line sport back


Part of me is hoping that replacing the G450 DPF sensor will help Mpg?

Update your VCDS to the newest version and rescan.

Maybe start a new thread too?
