So a w204.202 ,2011, 153,000 miles, auto.
Bought the icarsoft v2. had a thorough "play" with it and found a fault...
(P246309 The soot content of the diesel particulate filter is not ok. There is a mechanical fault.)
It tells me 1% ash content. 6% soot content. 400% full.
Now the car drives great (when compared to my old w203) with no dash faults showing.
The eco light does not turn green until ive done around 50 miles in one trip, that's what got me looking in the first place.
I have driven to let it regen but don't think it has happened.. Read a fair bit about what parameters it needs to satisfy before the car regens.
So the icarsoft can force a regen? Not tried it yet.
What other options? Maybe star to see what is really happening?
A dpf cleaning company?
Maybe its just got to many miles and needs replacing?
Any thoughts/ ideas on what to do would be gratefully received..
