    Has anyone got any iOS app that’s as good as VAG DPF for info??

    For apple only your ears.... Amarok DPF issues.

    The revs will go around 900 RPM when idling when engine is at running temperature.

    Yeah, I’ve noticed the jump in revs... and again, not concerned, I just drive like usual.

    But I’m curious to see some of the info that’s available... especially to give a baseline in case there are issues 100 thou from now...

    Anyone know how much soot is too much? I have fixed my issue with VAG DPF and have also installed Torque on my phone. I have 20 grams of soot currently showing and 248km since my last burn.

    Don't worry she will eventually do a burn.

    I have had my Core 420 for 3 years now and 45k. It's used mainly for long trips; 200+km at a time on country roads. I have not seen the dpf burn light come on yet. I do have a catch can though, maybe that makes a difference.

    When you drive longer trips, you most likely will never see the DPF light.

    When I had TDI420 Amarok, I haven’t seen the DPF light despite my trips were usually short but had longer one once a week or two.

    The V6 TDI wants to regenerate bit more often approximately every 300km and does throw out the DPF light with message “DPF See Owner’s Manual” after which I recommend you don’t turn the engine off. Just drive in S mode somewhere with less traffic lights until the DPF light turns off.

    Using good fuel additive (like Nulon Diesel Fuel Detox) 100% of time will help to reduce the soot particles and significantly shorten time needed for regeneration. I also use Penrite DPF Cleaner every 3,000km.

    No i don't notice any white smoke on take off

    I use liquid moly diesel clean and boost for every tank of fuel seems to work well and i notice a little less diesel clatter and a bit more torque due to slightly higher cetane level probably only noticeable because it's tuned

    Catch can makes no different to DPF regens - it only helps to capture some of the blow by and stop that goes through your engine. Not sure about the Amarok, but no other VW, Skoda or Audi TDI that ive been in have had any kind of light or indication that the DPF is doing a regen. My 2015 Audi SQ5 does a regen every 500-600km and i use an app called VAGDPF to monitor it, and there is absolutely zero chance that the driver could know the car is doing a regen without the app.
