Hello everyone, I’m really getting annoyed by this, hope someone can chime in and let me solve this.
I bought a 2015 Leon FR 2.0 TDI 135 kw. It’s got around 220k kilometers on it. One problem I have with it is constant regen of dpf. And when I say constant I mean constant.
Today it was at repair shop because of this issue and the mechanic forced the regen. It went on for about 40 minutes, mechanic said that the amount of ash went from 19.6 grams to 18 and then there is one other number which is more important and that went from 0.4 to 0.05 (please excuse my lack of knowledge, I know nothing about cars).
Later today I went for a 5 km ride and right after parking, you guessed it. It needed regen again. Now you might be wondering how I know it was regen. First of, the car has start stop system which disables itself when in regen. This was the case here, the consumption went up (0.8 l) and revs locked around 1k.
I let it run its course. Then I took another short 5 km trip, then another one and there it was again. Upon parking the icon with start stop system was disabled. This time the consumption was the same as normal (0.6 l) and revs were at 800, which is also where the car normally sits. I took a picture of this occurrence which I attached.
judging by this, you would think the problem is the way I use the car, that is only short trips. The problem is just yesterday I took a 300 km trip and the particulate filter warning showed right as I was on a highway going 140 kmh. After the icon showed up I was driving on a highway for the next 45 minutes and the regen didn’t happen at all. It didn’t happen throughout the whole 250 kilometers that I had ahead of me.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with this car, judging by the diagnostics the dpf is still fine but the frequency of regens and the times at which they happen are very odd to say the least.
i will be thankful for everyone who reads this and tries to help. Thank you!
