DPF issues after Remap

Post by Rankle »

More a research question here guys.

Anyone had any DPF issues since running a Versatune map?

More regenerations?
DPF light on?

Ive only had mine on for 5 days now and all is good (fingers crossed all will be fine).

But I have seen a fair few issues with other car manufacturers and DPF problems after having a map done.

Thanks

It should not be the case because the Versatuner doesn't touch the DPF code in the factory ECU.

If you have such issues try to revert to the factory tune and see how this works. But usually DPF goes nuts after a few days with cold temps and/or short drives. I don't have enough knowledge to rule out versatuner completely but it's unlikely for it to cause any issue, and it's most probably a coincidence.

Hey mituc,

Thanks for highlighting this for us.

Mine seems to be ok at the moment so no cause for alarm.

I didn’t know if anyone had had any DPF issues with using versatune.

SH engines run very hot, with the Versatune tuning even hotter, the DPF burns spontaneously. There is generally no problem with DPF with this engine.
