Re: Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

By means of an update from my first post. The problem with my Alhambra was finally traced to the secondary cat (SCA) having become blocked. Once it was fixed, all was well.

Re: Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

Ednet What happens to the the Measured Soot Mass value? I presume that is increasing over the period? The other strangeness with my car is that when the regeneration starts, the measured soot mass value remains permanent at about 25g. If only starts to decrease if I stop driving and then sit with th...

Re: Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

Slight mistake there - I think the lack of Post Injection 2 is finger trouble - I think I disabled it by mistake! Still interested if others have a view about the DPF pressure

Re: Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

Since my local dealer didn't seem particularly helpful, I went to a local tuning specialist who was recommended. He found that there were some ECU sw updates that hadn't been applied to my Seat Alhambra so he applied them. Sadly this didn't fix anything but I note that VAF DPF is no longer recording...

Re: Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

Unfortunately COVID 19 has stopped my attempts to find out what is happening. My main dealer is stumped but SEAT tech support will only accept data gathered using the official SEAT software. So we were going to collect some but the the UK lockdown prevented this from occurring

Re: Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

Thanks- I’ll ask a bit wider afield now I have the data. What I have found is that the measured value goes down dramatically if I sit on tick-over with regen happening event though the differential pressure is unchanged.

Anyway thanks again for developing such a useful app

Re: Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

Thanks. The distance since last regen is being reported as less than 30km. So sounds like a Sensor issue then

Thanks

Jump in Calculated Soot Mass

I have a 2011 Seat Alhambra with a CFFB engine. Recently it has been constantly trying to regenerate - or I think so since the engine fan goes to full speed for 5mins nearly every time I switch it off. Sadly the local dealer doesn't believe me so I am trying to get some evidence. Tonight, on my usua...
