Good start. How do you like the scan gauge? I plan on installing a round one in a pillar post pod someday.
I'm a big fan of it. I can monitor when the vehicle is getting ready to perform a DPF regen and when it is finished which is nice. That is the main reason I got it but I do enjoy monitoring the EGT levels too.Good start. How do you like the scan gauge? I plan on installing a round one in a pillar post pod someday.
To get the diesels to meet the emissions regulations car makers are using a diesel particulate filter(dpf) in the exhaust system. The DPF is designed to to remove the soot from exhaust fumes on the diesel vehicle. When the DPF gets full the vehicle goes through a regeneration(regen) where the soot is burnt off at a high temp.what do you guys mean but "DPF" and "EGT"?
Thank you! Makes sense!To get the diesels to meet the emissions regulations car makers are using a diesel particulate filter(dpf) in the exhaust system.

The EGT stands for exhaust gas temperature. Lets you monitor the temp and you can notice it increase as the vehicle gets ready to begin a regen.
You can stop a regen up to 3 times(I'm pretty sure) without an issue. It will just start the process again when the car gets up to operating temp(slightly less than half on the gauge).So what happens when you have to, say, go to a meeting, and your car decides to do a regen?
You have to keep driving during a regen right?
