[bluepassat]

what the dealers don't tell you, when you buy

you must have at least 1/4 tank of fuel....

the engine must be upto temperature.....

the engine rpm while driving must be around 2800rpm....

there must be flow through the exhaust....

no stored faults.....

or it will not regen....

and it will regen, whenever it detects it needs doing....

hope this helps

Well I got this today , this is not the one I purchased on eBay? I ordered the Wi-Fi version . This one has a usb lead ,which I'm.assuming u plug into a laptop..or am I wrong..lol

 

[shaun127]

yep wrong one, no good

 

[cactikid]

Did you mean wifi or bluetooth?

 

[shaun127]

There are 3 versions available, the usb one, wifi and bluetooth. I prefer the wifi version as I personally get a better connection to my phone using wifi

 

[johnny bravo]

Seller not replying to my emails.. give him a few days before I open a eBay case..why send the wrong one in the first place..

 

[johnny bravo]

well seller refunded me half my money..now ive bought another one the wifi version. So if anyone wants the usb version of this elm327 pm me..no good to me really, as my laptop doesntveven have a CD drive..lol

 

[johnny bravo]

Update.. got new adaptor..got up this morning, got in car drove 3 miles to work, plugged in the adaptor.. this is what I got..see pic.

 

[shaun127]

so that tells you that it done a regen 21 mins ago and 7 miles ago. its on 39% which is quite high mines gtes down to around 21% after a regen. Once it reaches 100% it will do another regen. If the adapter is plugged in and the appopen when it does it. you can watch it burning all the soot off via the apk

 

[johnny bravo]

Can I leave the adaptor plugged in all the time?

 

[shaun127]

Yes Johnny leave it in , no problem

Does Regen.% ever get down to 0%?..mine was one 92% last , so after work I drove on the motorway for about 17 miles , bought it down to 21%...I'm assuming if I drove further probably would have bought it down even further...I'm thinking of getting a 1.4 tsi..what u guys think?..any advice would be appreciated..call me paranoid but I'm not liking this Regen thing..even though the car looks and drives spot on..ta

 

[shaun127]

No its doing it right it never gets to 0%, 21% is fine and your figures all look OK

1.4 tsi omg engine with timing chain issues can break at 40k miles,a mate had one fully serviced in vw and it broke 4 years and vw said not covered,he took them to court and won and got a new engine fitted and guess what happened at 81k broke again.
We had a tdi golf in for service and oil all over rocker cover as it seems new rocker cover is needed,+ timing belt+ pads and discs all round and a tyre and not much change from e1300 .Forgot to ask why he had a bottle of 15 w 40 401 spec in boot.

Vws bmws and mercs are nice cars to drive but prefare to drive cars built to last,and at the moment will be taking my 1989 car out for a drive fully taxed insured and nct for 2 years classic!

You need to do a motorway run once a week for at least 10 miles in 4th gear at 70 mph. If it's a six speed, use fifth. Your revs need to sit at about 3000 rpm. If you sense a burning smell, this is normal as the regeneration process is under way. hope this helps.
