Hello all,
This is my first post here, so please be kind (if you can) .
I have a 2010 Diesel Audi A3 which I bought used in 2015. The DPF problems started about two years back.
I had to spend one night in the car and as it was cold, I had to keep the engine running. The next morning the DPF warning light appeared within 10 minutes of me waking up. I took it for a drive on the highway and the warning went away. Over the next 6 months I did a lot highway driving and didn't have any more problems. Since two years ago I do mostly city commute and the PDF saga began.
I've taken it to a neighbourhood shop and they regenerated the DPF a couple of times when the problem wouldn't go away by driving on the highway. For the better part of the last 2 years we got along by driving on the highway for about one and a half hours per week when the DPF warning lit up. The mileage between consecutive warnings varied between 150 and 700 Km [after a 500Km highway trip].
Recently I purchased a HEX-V2 interface so i wouldn't have to spend the extra hour and a half every week to clean the DPF.
I've done it 3 times so far, but I have a few questions:
1. When doing the xxx471 coding for cleaning the DPF while standing, how do I stop it? I've just let the soot mass drop closest to 0 and hit the cancel button. Should I wait until the process stops automatically?
2. I've hit a wrong button [Forget learned values.. something] and now the measured soot mass is negative. How do I "reset" or calibrate it? The thing that got to me is that the last time I've had to do the DPF regeneration, the calculated soot mass was around 11g. Other times it was around 24g, as I've seen it should be for the DPF warning light to light up.
3. The MIL light has been on for the last two weeks or so. I'm including the full auto-scan. Is this something that can wait a coupe of more weeks with ~30 Km of travel per day? Honest opinion or best guess ), I know nobody can predict the future
4. Am I damaging something to the car if I continue to do forced DPF regenerations while standing? I've seen the pre-heater light [the one that looks like a spring] appear while going for a drive after forced DPF regeneration. This only happens [so far] if I take to the road in the first half hour or so after DPF regen and doesn't appear anymore if I take the key out and restart the engine.
PS: replacing the DPF is about 2500$ at the dealer and I'm not sure it's worth it on a nearly 10 year car, especially considering I'm going to continue driving mainly in the city and it's gonna clog again.
Thank you to anyone willing and able to take the time to help me make sense of this situation.
