Yeah, that was my thinking - that the ECU would stop regen if that wasn't working... In fact, since that error has shown up, the DPF level is showing as 0% - would that be the cause of that? Showing 0% due to inability of being able to measure it?

Thanks for that - this is what my scanner shows up - do you know which it is from that?

Not the same for the E Class, unfortunately. No "M" option - just "E" and "S" which are both auto modes. You can drop down (or up) with the paddles, but it only holds it for about 20 seconds.

Seems mad (indeed, it seems like car companies want to keep selling £2000 DPF filters...) that there is no visual indication given. This stuff is ALL in the ECU - soot fill level, ash level, when a regen starts, time left of a regen etc - why won't the car just show it to us? Mercedes trucks DO...

See, I've never noticed any of that - and, as a 7 gear auto, the car wouldn't get in high revs (over 2500) unless I was doing WAAAYYYY over the speed limit (and even manually dropping it down it reverts back t auto after about 20 seconds.

How did you know when it started a regen, though - there is no indication at all.

No, not having DPF issues at all - as outlined in the original post, it's been a series of sensor issues.

Hi All I recently (about 6 weeks ago) bought a 2013 (facelift) W212. Within 20 mnutes of picking it up, the engine warning light came on, and it transpired to be a small electrical fault that was extremely hard to trace (a boost pressure sensor). I must say, the independent (but very large)...

The half second unresponsiveness may have just been turbo lag if you're not used to it - if you were going very slow before and the revs had dropped right down.

Had a 2008 E class for 4 years and the car was largely faultless until just recently - in the first 3.5 years of ownership, just a brake sensor switch (£11 on ebay, replaced myself with 2 screws) and a suspension went (cost about £60 inc labour at an indy) - but the last 6 months, once it went...

RE the fuel... I wish, I'm in northern ireland - literally NO shell stations in the country, and very limited BP stations which sell ultimate. It's either independents where you don't even know what's in their pumps, asda, or an occasional Texaco or Star (neither of which have anything more than...

Thanks all - good points and advice! RE the environment - yeah, it's a nonsense - and probably more harmful to the environment in any case (my old, non DPF eclass only had marginally higher emissions than the new one, but I need to take the new one for a big drive every week to burn the crap...

Ah, ok, fair enough! Loads of stuff online says to keep at 2000 revs ish - I've been finding it impossible to do this on motorway!

Hi All - I've got a 2013 EClass W212 Facelift 220D - I'm conscious I need to take the car for a reasonable run every week or 2 to make sure dpf regen is done - however all advice I see says "keep the car at about 2000 revs for 15 mins or so" - however, in a 7 speed auto, the car, at constant...

Cleared the codes - can only see one returned so far which is the egr fault the dealer is covering under warranty - also got the dpf checked- ash 0% soot 1% and fill 41% - do they all seem ok to everyone who knows about this stuff?

good point. I'm taking delivery of an icarsoft MBII in the next day or 2 - will it be able to clear these codes, then can run it for a few days and see if they return. Still, would like to know if any of these need attention (to be fair, they are replacing the egr valve next week under the...

IMG_5928 by nidgemo posted Apr 3, 2018 at 10:20 PM Hi All - had my new (to me!) 2013 Eclass W212 facelift in with the dealership I bought it from a week ago today, as I'd been having a few error lights... They put it on diagnostics, and found all on the attached image The mechanic in the...

Hi all -anyone else with any experience with these? Let me know.

Hi Cowley - does it do the functions I mentioned? If so, send me a direct message, as I'd be interested!
