isetta Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 if I remember correctly Forscan software (free for Windows devices, about 6 quid for Apple/Android) tells you the mileage driven since last regen. You would need a ELM327 type faultcode reader. eg. https://tunnelrat-electronics.fwscart.com/ this seller has been recomended on this forum many times. You can get these type of readers cheaper on eBay etc but some of them are rubbish and there is no way of telling before you use it. More peace of mind if you got a tunnelrat one as opposed to taking a chance on cheaper ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelburrows Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 iv a 2.0 tdci 62 plate duratorq engine. iv also not heard the fans not smelt the burning smell either. but i was alsodriving bk from north yorkshire using my ondash computer showi g average mpg. going along quite happily at about 70 showi g about 58mpg. then i noticed the mpgs dropping . it dropped to about 42 mpgs . my driving style or speed hadnt changed. the temp had gone up to just u der half from just over a quarter where it usually sits. i assume that was as much info i was going to get about a regeneration taking place. i also dont thi k there is a light on the dash that shows a regen is happening.think mine has what i think is known as a cdpf a coated diesel particulate filter which again i think has less problem than normal older dpf which youres may have.
