Ash content and mileage - your input is needed

Translated on 20-07-2026, 18:33.

I'd like to know what values you have for the ash content (or ash volume) and total mileage of the car.

Sure, here's the translation:

"Perhaps a brief mention of the engine/car would be helpful."

What is it used for? To estimate the fill level of the diesel particulate filter based on the vehicle's mileage.

At my place:
Volkswagen Golf V, Model 2008 - 2.0 TDI 140 hp, DSG automatic transmission - 60,000 km - 18-inch wheels.

Guest Free account, no CAN development support

Audi A4 B7, Model 2007 - 2.0 TDI 8V 140 hp - 190,000 km - 7g (maximum 60g).
The filter was cleaned at 180,000 km. At that time, the value was 59 grams.

Volkswagen Golf V - 1.9 TDI BLS engine, 6-speed manual transmission, EGR valve reduced from 60g to 30g, 102,000 km mileage.

Volkswagen Golf 5, engine code BLS, mileage 137,000 km, CO2 emissions 27 g.
Passat 3C Variant BMR SG6, 86,000 km, 25.5 g (presumably referring to CO2 emissions).
Passat 3C Variant BMP, mileage: 131,400 km, emissions: 34 g.

Passat 3C with BMR (likely referring to a specific component or system), at 172,000 km, had a value of 36g, with a maximum of 60g.

Instead of posting this, I would focus on fixing the problem!

Hello Martin,

It has already happened, but only because I had finally decided to purchase the VCDS software in November 2012.

The car was at the

for a check-up in September, with no indication of the full DPF.

There's nothing more to say about that...

Hello, I was at the friendly Skoda dealer today, and the workshop foreman connected a VCDS device

.
He said that it works better and is much faster than the Vag Tester.

Okay, here's the translation:

"Now my question is, I want to retrieve the value of the ash mass. My car no longer has a catalytic converter. Car: Skoda Octavia 8/12 CFHC."
We couldn't find it in the list of expanded MBWs.
Is there a different term for that now?

Search for "particulate filter"

.

In "older" engines, the ash content is measured in grams, while in "newer" engines, it is measured in liters.
0.02 liters is equivalent to 20 ml, and for this engine in the A3, 175 ml is allowed. After that, the DPF must be cleaned or replaced.

Please enter the values for assessing the fill level here.
