Regen frequency.

[john7080]

Hi everyone,
I've just had a replacement DPF fitted on my 2020 TGE and as such I've become paranoid!! Roughly how often would you expect an active regen to take place? Fairly short journeys currently

Thanks in advance

My conversion isn't ready yet so ive not owned one so far but how do you know when the regen is taking place .

Only indicator is the revs increase slightly at idle. If you look on the T6 forum someone is making a display that woks with a obd dongle and tells you the actual status otherwise the only way of knowing when the cycle has finished is to keep looking at the idle speed

the VAG DPF program on the Google play store will work with an OBD2 dongle if you have an android head unit, i use it, it will play a notification noise over the top of my music when regen starts.

Thats a great bit of information I guess you have to have the obd reader permanently plugged in and connected though .

Can you point towards the app that you use in the appstore?
I have a permanently mounted obd dongle and with an app like Tasker I could probably get the dpf app to start automatically on my phone.
