DPF Regen & Soot Values Amarok V6
Hi All,
Is anyone currently using VAG DPF / VCDS & tracking a baseline for their DPF regens?
What are your values for V6 3.0L TDI Amarok?
1. Km's per regen
2. approx exhaust temps when 80+ km/h (not in regen) / have you seen a passive regen?
3. soot % & grams when active regen starts
4. average mg/km soot accumulation (not in regen)
5. soot % & grams after regen completed
Any other interesting information in regards to Amarok DPF?
Thanks in advance

DPF Regen & Soot Values Amarok V6
Not an Amarok, but a similar V6 in my wifes Audi SQ5 which might help. I use VAGDPF weekly to monitor the DPF behaviour.
1) varies on the type of driving you are doing (eg city vs highway) and also how you drive (heavy throttle use it will fill up faster). With our normal driving, its about 450-550km between regens, but on a freeway run it increases to about 650km.
2) VAGDPF does not give me exhaust temp on my engine, but yes I have had a few passive regens when on the freeway at 110kph when soot levels were high, but not quite as high as when normal regen takes place.
3) about 21-22grams on average when DPF levels reach 100% and a regen commences.
4) have not really looked.
5) after a regen has taken place, soot level is usually around 25% and about 7-8 grams.

No oil consumption at all on my engine, but its quite young and has only done 65,000km.
I check the oil at least once a month to check the level and general condition of the oil - its always on the full mark.
So my VW/Audi specialist services the car once a year for me (which is about 12,000-14,000km) and he uses Fuchs Titan GT1 5w-30 oil, then 6 months after his service I do my own oil and filter change and I use Penrite Enviro+ 5w-30 which is readily available from Supercheap/Repco etc and on sale several times a year so that's when I buy it.
So the car gets fresh oil every 6 months or so and 6,000-7,000km.
