Can't connect

Post by arnie » Thu May 12, 2022 2:47 am

Hi, I've got a Carista OBD2 and can't connect to VAG DPF
Is this because VAG DPF is not compatable with my CAAC 2012 T5 engine
or am I doing something wrong?
I can connect to the Carista app OK

The engine CAAC isn't officially supported, but almost all parameters can be read setting the engine group 3 in the options.
I'm not completely sure about the correctness of the values, maybe if you can post here a screenshot I can give a check.

I don't have many information about this engine, I received only few requests of information by email.

All good now CAAC engine works good with group 10 and all parameters supported
Would this still be accurate?

Good, all parameters are read correctly, but now we have to understand if the values are calculated correctly.
To do this, the best way is to check a log file containing at least some minutes in normal engine condition and a full regeneration.
Alternatively you can take some screenshot at different time including the normal run and the regeneration phase at the beginning and at the end.

I don't see problem, but with these notes:
"distance since last regen." = is the distance correct for you?
"time since last regen." = is the time correct for you?
"oil ash residue" = seems low, but what's the mileage of your car?
"low press. egr closing" = was the engine off when the screenshot was taken?
"post injection 2" = same question of the point above
"differential pressure" = same question of the point above


The "port injection 3" is disabled, did you voluntarily disable it?
Every parameter, except the first three, can be /enabled disabled tapping on it.

After this checks, we have to do the same with a picture taken during the regeneration or just before its start.
