Hi, got 61plate C220CDI that had DPF issue.
Replaced sensor and was OK until I put jump leads on to start a mates car.
Since then DPF/EMU light won't clear, having tried various 2500rpm runs, incl 2X 100+ miles
Wonder if anyone knows if icarsoft can initiate a Regen mode or do I -
1 assume sensor blown
2 take car to specialist
3 take it to a "supposed" DPF cleaner?
4 buy a new dpf - can't really afford
5 get pushbike out

Spent £300+ so far since this started 2 years ago. But last spend was to set Regen mode, and my clearing trip of 150 miles didn't work.

It started because I used to do only 5 miles a day for a year+

Icarsoft will not do a forced regen. Only STAR can authorise that once its checked its running the correct latest software. Likelyhood is one of the sensors on the SCR system is intermittently giving a wrong signal causing a regen issue.

They are the bain of my existence at the moment.

Thanks Steve. A shame MB don't provide a forced Regen button like on their Trucks ;)
Ultimate Car Parts who sell the icarsoft stated however that you can initiate a Regen with the latest MBv2.0?

I just bought a new icarsoft v2 and there is a option for d p f regeneration
although I never used this option as I only got it this week.
Only thing I am in N . Ireland or could have tried it.

I got an update from iCarsoft in November as you can see in the pic. Its the MB iCarsoft 11 version where it mentions " " DPFRESET ) but I presume that all that does is clear the fault code, but will nor regen a DPF. So the MB STAR is the only option.

V2 will perform a DPF regen, I have that model and it does indeed trigger a regen.
But not on my model 2011 E250!
Yet, I've been informed that there's an update coming though.....

After the latest update to iCarsoft MBII v2 it'll now force a regen on the OM651 engine. So I take back what I said previously, and at last, it's not just Star that can force a regen of the DPF

Sorry to drag up an old thread. Looking to pull the trigger on an iCarsoft MBII, I have an iCarsoft 980 but I need to perform a DPF regeneration on a C220 CDI(2014) - (OM651). Will the MBII allow me to do that with the latest software?

I would like to see how healty DPF-wise my own car E250(2009) - (OM651) but not sure if the ECU/MBII combo will give that info.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks in advance.

Probably a good idea to talk to the UK distributor to confirm your model is covered re DPF regen:

Hi guys,

I can't access the DPF section of the tool on my MBII after the latest update. After it reads the VIN and confirm it goes back to the main menu... I was thinking to revert the software back to it's original version. Could someone be kind enough to upload the files from the memory card with his version if it's older then mine's? I contacted iCarsoft support by email some month ago about the issue and got not answer so I've stopped hopeing for an update fix.

Below are my installed versions:
boot version 10.02
displays program version 02.48
diagnostic program version 11.25
diagnostic library version 11.49

Many thanks for whoever might help me out!

For clarification, the iCarsoft MBII does not provide a manual regen facility for the DPF.
The iCarsoft MB V2.0 does and requires a current DPF fault code to be active before the manual regen function will become available. The MB II and MB V2.0 are two different spec'n instruments.

I would like to hear from someone who has done a manual, forced DPF regen on om651.
No issue as of this second. Just want to be in front of the curve.
Don't think my 2015 star can do it?
And happy to have icarsoft MB v2 if I hear from someone who did it, its also easier to carry in car.
