VAG DPF free

VAG DPF free is the free version of the application VAG DPF that show you the most important data related to the DPF particulate filter and its regeneration phases using an ELM327 Bluetooth/WIFI adapter. With this free app you can statically view 3 parameters related to the particulate filter status. This app doesn't use standard OBD2 commands as almost all other apps, it uses directly CAN commands specific of car model and this is the reason why it doesn't work with every car; due to the use of CAN commands, the app needs al least a decent ELM327 adapter (see note below); some users reports correct app working with a 10-15 euro adapter.

ATTENTION!! This app works only with VW group cars (Audi Volkswagen Seat Skoda) that are equipped with engines listed below; for diesel engines not listed is not guaranteed the full compatibility, so if you anyway buy the app, consider that some or all functions couldn't work correctly.

Engines 100% supported:CRBC (2.0TDI 150CV)CFHD (2.0TDI 143CV)CUNA (2.0TDI 184CV)CFFB (2.0TDI 140CV)CFWA (1.2TDI 75CV)CLHA (1.6TDI 105CV)CXXB (1.6TDI 110CV)CAYC (1.6TDI 105CV)Tested by users:CFGB,CJCA,CRMB,CUPA,CUSA,CXFA,CAYBIMPORTANT some of the engines above may be uncompabile, it depends on the engine software version.Others engines of the same family may be compatible, but they are not yet tested. The list is constantly updated.Core functions of the application:
- Display of 3 parameters related to the DPF filter: soot mass accumulation in the filter, regeneration duration, km traveled since last regeneration
- Manual update of the parameters

List of queued functions for the next update:
- Increase of the engine compatibility list

About ELM327 adapters:Currently on the market you can find a huge list of low cost clone ELM327 adapters using a cloned and simplified version of the ELM327 chip; the use of these adapters with this app may introduce readings errors and also car connection problems or app freezing.For an optimal use I suggest to buy a good quality adapter like an OBDLink LX (http://www.obdlink.com/) used by me for the application development; the app also works with cheap adapters provided decent quality.

Tried the app, along with the paid version, to see if it in fact would be compatible with my 2014 Volkswagen Beetle TDI. Neither did. A positive I take away from this experience is confirming the engine on my Beetle is a CJAA which, checking the list of engines compatible with the app, is not found. Odd, as this app is highly recommended by fellow TDI enthusiasts driving similar Beetles. Would be much appreciated if the Developer were to achieve compatibility with the CJAA.

I installed the free version of this app to test it before buying the paid version. When I attempted to connect by blutooth to my 2013 VW Jetta TDI (2.0 litre) using an OBDLink MX device I received an error message saying either the vehicle was not supported or the device was cheap (incompatible). The device is not cheap but high end and works well with my other apps for vehicle and motorcycle diagnostics. The author of the app states it has been tested and works using an OBDLink LX.

Doesn't appear to work on the MK5 TDI BKD, BKP, BRE series of engines. They are not listed as being supported, but I thought that I'd give it a try, It would be fantastic if the developer could add support for these models in, as I am sure that there will be a few owners of older VAG group vehicles who would be interested in the valuable data this application provides.

Love this application and works well with CFFB and CAHA engines. However i seem to have an issue with CWFA 1.2 TDi (55kw) engine, i can't toggle on/off the soot mass calc, regen duration and distance since last regen buttons? They stay on but don't update. Can you help?

Great app, worked well for me. Had this on my old car (1.6tdi CAYC I think) and it worked great. Unfortunately my new car (3.0tdi CDYA) does not work.

Ant. Jun 6, 2021     

I tested on 4 OBD adapters and with all of them I get an error with something like "not supported". I tested it on CFFB and CBDB.

Tried to connect to a mk1 tiguan (CFFB) but it's telling me the engine is not supported or the reader is faulty. I've got an ELM327 which works perfectly with other apps. Am i doing something wrong?

Unfortunately it doesn't work with my Audi A4 2012 facelift Avant 2.0 Tdi quattro 177ps (CGLC) so there is no point for me to buy a full version 🙁
