High fuel consumption w212 e350 cdi estate

Thanks, so maybe mine is right then. Just need to look into dpf though
That clogged DPF will cook the turbo and engine eventually. If you are burning oil (high ash content), then the turbo may be bad already, and the oil pump can fail as well pushing oil into the turbo. Needs very careful diagnosis.

I'll try and look at my values today , I'll put a picture up. I put stp cleaner in mine yesterday, I only ever do short trips usually.

Thank you. I will get this looked at, luckily not being used now
 
My 59 plate E350 231bhp also shows wonky DPF settings on the iCarSoft MB2.0 - 89,000km since last DPF regency etc. Was driving me bonkers - I even took it to Mercedes Brooklands and another indie as I was sure there was something wrong with my car, but nope, no issues with the DPF or any sensors. I contacted iCarSoft and they confirmed that that engine isn't supported for accurate DPF readings.

My 60 plate E350 265bhp has no such issues with MB2.0, readings are accurate.

Ignore those figures. There's no way your car is running and hasn't regenerated the DPF in tens of thousands of miles.

It may have been fixed in firmware updates from iCarSoft, but you need a Windows PC to do the update (I don't have one) and their support is a bit of a nightmare to deal with.
 
Id say that result shows last dpf regen was done at 82k. Ash and soot are sky high . Can the op confirm mileage on car . Screenshot_20250106-183331.png
