1.6 DPF problems

[AndyN01]

Hi all.

Car has gone into limp mode.

Local VW dealership is saying the DPF is shot and needs replacing at many £££££'s

VDCS shows this:

Means very little to me so I'm hoping someone on here can decipher the info - I'll be very grateful.

Thanks in advance.

It is showing a negative loading so the first step is fit a new pressure sensor, calibrate and carry out a driving forced regeneration. If that fails, OK it needs a clean but not replacing. Why is the Ash Mass figure missing?

[AndyN01]

Thanks Crasher.

I don't know why there isn't an Ash Mass figure. I've only very recently got my VDCS so I just plugged it in and ran a scan. It wasn't configured (if that's the right phrase) to the car.

I'll be in touch.

Andy.

The sensor is £72.26 and to fit and calibrate is £66
