So I brought an Autel AP200 (I have to say the app isn't great (let alone having two apps for the same job), however I can't get it to load/connect up the Service Options properly, I always end up at the menu below, and none of the options appear to load up (just sit on the loading screens).What you need them to find is the reason it doesn’t complete a regen.
It can be a number of things. In my case a while ago it was a 12v battery issue. A new battery sorted it
A Mercedes Indy said the DPF had to come off and be cleaned etc etc etc and some other stuff blah blah circa £700.
The diagnostics thing I use quite clearly said “ reason for non completed regeneration - battery voltage too low. “
I’d been delaying changing the battery as the car was in constant use. After 3 days of no use the battery was flat and the car wouldn’t start.
Basically you need to find the root cause as resetting things is a short term thing
The Autel AP200 is their cheapest diagnostic machine and for me it’s been invaluable. Below is a screen shot of the report it generates showing the last 16 regen attempts. Some fail and the reason is shown. It’s an a very useful tool which has saved me hundreds of pounds. It also shows live data such as fill level, exhaust pressure, DPF temperature etc.
Worth remembering if there are and stored and current codes triggered that the car won’t regen. And an active code doesn’t always give a CEL on the dash.
Do you recall what option you chose?
I fear I'll be sending this back, and going the old 'Indy' route still.
Thx
