Particulate problem

Post by splang » Mon Sep 21, 2015 7:13 pm

Hi folks
My friends car is having an issue with his dpf- it won't regen.
I have tried to force a regen using Carly app but these two error keep reoccurring and I think are stopping the regen.
Any ideas please folks (2007 x5 e70 30d)

Have you tried sending the code report back to Carly for them to check?  I did it with our E46 and had a response in less than an hour.  I had no faults logged on this occasion though.

Both codes indicate DPF issues, but nothing I can find on line says exactly what the issue is.  Lots of pages in French, German, Polish but none in English.  It may need more than the commanded regen code and a full Dealer clean process can take 90 minutes - and I think they put a cleaning agent of some sort into play too which helps the regen.
