DPF Error: Volkswagen Golf 6 2.0 TDI Fix

Hello everyone,

I hope you can support me.
Der Golf 6 meiner Schwester war im Notlauf. Darauf hin habe ich den Fehlerspeicher ausgelesen und gelöscht. Log, below.

Since then, the car has been running without any problems. However, I would have expected a high soot value in the error memory, which is not the case. The car is almost exclusively driven on short trips and often doesn't get properly warm. That's exactly what you shouldn't do with a diesel engine, I know .

I wanted to try a regeneration process while the system was idle, but it's being interrupted with the following error:
"Interrupted (security error) | Error".

Can you identify the cause of the error in the log? The DPF shouldn't be clogged. Should I just continue driving?

Thank you very much and best regards.
Chris.

Hello Chris,

With a car scan, the answer would be somewhat simpler.

It is possible that the regeneration process could not be completed within the required time due to the short distance.

If you don't have any other error entries, you could check the exhaust temperature sensor and differential pressure sensor for plausibility.


Otherwise, next time please use the Autoscan feature.

Best regards,

Michael.

Hello Michael,

Thank you for your response.
The auto-scan showed no issues. There was only one problem detected: an issue with the rain sensor; otherwise, there were no other entries.

Chris.
