I’ve borrowed a friends Bosch KTS system and used that to see what info is available and it gives several DPF readings, such as ‘soot mass’. So, either the KTS is interpolating that figure somehow and/or is using data that the gap iid isn’t. There are many other OBD tools which state they show...

You guys obviously know a lot about these vehicles. Gap have suggested I update the engine ecu and try the live readings again. will report back when I’ve done this.

Hi, nope. Our D4 doesn’t have adblue. It’s a July 2013 plate.

Thanks for your replies. they are helpful. I've used the DPF remaining volume and DPF pressure diff live values. the DPF remaining volume returns a zero, i.e. "0 L". so either the DPF is absolutely clean or the reading is incorrect. I asked GAP about this and they said they have given access to...

I’ve just bought the GAP IID so that I can check faults etc but also so I can monitor the dpf on our recently purchased 2013 Disco 4. I couldn’t find any useful dpf live values to monitor so I asked GAP to help me. They’ve said there aren’t any! I don’t think that’s right - is it? I can’t...

I’ve setup the gap iid and done some checks. Does anyone know the live readings to select to see the dpf status? I found one that showed the volume remaining but it said that was 0L but it wasn’t doing a regen so not sure if it was (a) really saying there was no room left in the filter or (b)...

Hi, I bought the GAP IID. Just need to work out how to use it now. :-)

Hi, thanks for your advice. Does the gap iid tool offer more functions etc than, say, the icarsoft LR2? what do you get for the extra money (iid c. £400, icarsoft, c. £130)?

I found a neighbour who has a Bosch KTS 520 diagnostic tool. Plugged it in and it seems to say the dpf is all okay (number of regens = 40, number of failed regens = 0) but it also gave a soot mass value of 5.2g. Problem is I can't find any info online about the capacity (I'm assuming the soot...

Hi Turboman, gstuart. thanks for the input so far. the gap iid is more of an investment than I was planning but if it can provide an indication of whether the DPF is filling up, that will make sure I can avoid problems, so I guess it will be worth it.

Hi, Newbie alert! Just jumped into the Disco 'ecosystem' with a Disco 4 (2013).... Been reading a lot about the DPF and potential issues. I've also read that some OBD2 scanners can check the DPF to see if it's filling up or keeping itself clean. We use the car regularly for short journeys and...
