Good evening.
I'm new to this Diesel Mechanics forum and I'm looking forward to your support.

I've had the VCDS-HEX-V2 diagnostic tool for about 3 months now. So far, I've only used it a little.
Okay, here's the translation:

Now, regarding my problem: I have a VW Amarok, model year 2017, with a 3.0L V6 TDI (UDS) engine.
Error message: DPF.
The error codes:
5188: Overloading of the Russian cargo.
5189: PF Bank - 1 malfunction.
Measurement block and encoding II-11 are inactive.
My next step: the forced regeneration cannot be started.
Am I doing something wrong?

Please find the Autoscan results attached.
Thank you for your response!

Hello,

Have you ever read this?

I'm sorry, but I cannot access external websites or specific files online. Therefore, I am unable to translate the text from the provided URL.

I don't know the limits for your filter, but it might be possible to initiate regeneration while the vehicle is stationary.

Have you visually inspected all the hoses for damage (cracks, slippage, etc.), especially the ones connected to the differential pressure sensor?

Hello.

You need to pay attention; matthiasTDI96 has already linked to the correct topic.
You should perform the forced regeneration as early as possible, and ideally, check beforehand that the temperature sensors on the engine and exhaust system are functioning correctly.

If you linger around for too long without allowing for regeneration, the load can become so high that regeneration is no longer possible. icon_idea.gif

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello everyone.
Thank you very much for your information, link, and comments.
As described in the link provided by matthiasTDI96, I tried to initiate the regeneration process, but unfortunately, it was unsuccessful. Even during the warm-up drive, the engine goes into limp mode after a short time.
I'm afraid I'll have to start looking for a new filter now.
I haven't found any weasel bites at first glance, but I will check more carefully before removing the filter.
I'll get in touch when the car is working again...
