I was wondering if your engine light is on due to a blocked dpf will the car still try to regen or does it wait for a mechanic to force the regen?

Great I bought this icarsoft V2 today and waiting for it to arrive my dpf is blocked and car in limp mode however no lights on dash to alert the issue was this the same for you? How long did the regen take?I just forced a regen on an W212 E220 CDI. I used my icarsoft MB v2.0 diagnostic to:
Hope this helps
- Go to diagnostics
- Smart Scan
- Read the fault code under ECM
- Clear the fault code under ECM
- Go to service menu
- Select DPF
- Select E350 CDI (no E220 CDI unfortunately)
- Select relearn DPF after replacement (or something like that)
- Prompts you that this is the wrong car, do you want to force regen?
- First question was are you doing this because of known oil loss? I wasnt so I selected No
- Asks to do a test that takes a while and the ignition will need to be on
- Car at that point did the regen - engine reached 1700 rpm at some point
- Diagnostic then says you need to do the regen while driving the car
- Proceeded without driving - communication error but the DPF regen was already done down from 400% to 15%
- Car will be driven on the highway for a few hours now at 70mph. My cousin who is an indiein the US suggested "i floored it". I replied I am already taking the speed awarness course [emoji14]
Yup car was in limp mode, wouldn't go beyond 4k revs. You will need to drive it non-stop for 30 minutes at constant speed which shouldn't exceed 50mph if i remember correctly.Great I bought this icarsoft V2 today and waiting for it to arrive my dpf is blocked and car in limp mode however no lights on dash to alert the issue was this the same for you?

I drove it 475 miles non stop from London to Belfast and it won't rev past 3k albeit it does get up to speed ie. 80 although slow and labouredYup car was in limp mode, wouldn't go beyond 4k revs. You will need to drive it non-stop for 30 minutes at constant speed which shouldn't exceed 50mph if i remember correctly.
Long enough drive for it to try to regen thenI drove it 475 miles non stop from London to Belfast and it won't rev past 3k albeit it does get up to speed ie. 80 although slow and laboured

Anyway, manufacturers don't care about the customers that will have 100k miles on their cars, which is when the DPF problems will start to happen!
