Thanks for your response Steve.

I was actually able to do a DPF regen using OBDeleven with their Pro pack, took about 40 mins, cleared all fault codes, live metrics look much better, DPF icon gone as well. Definite worth the time and money.

Hey folks, I'm new here so go easy, okay?

I recently bought a A6 and after a couple of weeks the DPF light came on. Didn't have a chance to take it out on a motorway and a few days later it got the glow plug light flashing (and limited power). I did drive it for about 2 hours on the motorway after that, but unfortunately it didn't seem to change anything. After doing some more research online and talking to a couple of shops over the phone, it seems like my best option now is to do a "static regen" on the DPF, so I was wondering if that's something I could do using an OBDeleven off of Amazon. I saw they have a few options, I'm happy to pay for either TBH but not sure which one I need.

Before considering this route I did try a local garage, they told me it'd be ~ $70 which I was happy with, but they could not connect to my car unfortunately and recommended I book an appointment at an Audi dealership. I called a couple of them but the wait times are ridiculously high (January-February) and that's just for inspection, and I'll likely need a second visit, or leave the vehicle for a few days, which I'm not eager on doing.

If it makes any difference it's a 2018 2.0 TDI Ultra with about 50k miles. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Thank you!
