checking dpf loading using vag com

[M7R]

has anyone been able to check their dpf loading via vag com /vcds? I know you can do it on the PD engine and it give you a %... but on vcds section 8 is not open, you can log them but i can only see the loading in grams, and the time and distance since a regen... but it being in grams is of no use unless you know how many grams relates to a percentage...

cheers

Karl.

Hi,
so what's your loading at, and how many miles have you covered .?

it said the time since the last regen was 40615 seconds, and 29000 km, which doesnt quite add up as 40615 seconds is 11 hours and a bit.

the car has only really been around town the last few weeks, and yesterday it was doing something a bit odd, trying to force a regen I think as the fan was on when we stopped the car, but it wasn't sounding quite as deep and boomy as it has done in the past, and the exhaust wasn't making the normal tinkling sound as it cools which it has done before.

I am taking the car for a good run tomorrow (north wales) and then ascot and croydon on thursday, so alot of motorway crusing, I will have a look on vcds when I come back and see what it says
