DPF Monitoring App

SignumGB · Jan 10th, 2019, 22:44

After owning a VW that had the 'fix fail' software, I monitored DPF performance using the 'VAG DPF' app. Looked like this below. Is there an equivalent for Volvo? I know Volvo haven't been caught up in the emissions scandal (could they?) but I am just curious how often my Volvo will regen on typical motor and town driving.

Thanks

Vida contains a lot but not all of these values.
The presentation of the data is also different

Is it an app on Android?

No. Windows 7.

Ah VAG DPF app is on Android so you can see what is happening when the engine is running. I wonder if a bog standard DPF monitoring app will do.

With VIDA you can also see what is happening when the engine is running.
You just run VIDA on a laptop or tablet using Win7, and connect to the diagnostic port.

Whilst VIDA may not have the prettiest GUI in the business, it IS the OEM software and thus shows you more than anything else out there.

I do have a laptop. What's the cost of VIDA and where can it be downloaded?

The laptop needs to be Windows 7 Professional as a minimum or 7 Enterprise or 7 Ultimate with a minimum 3GB RAM and 30gb free HDD space but better with 4GB minimum and a processor with a clock speed above 2GHz.

Ask Cheshired5, that sounds like something he could help you with.

I use Car Scanner ELM OBD2 - displays DPF soot and other parameters in 5-cylinder Volvo diesels 2007-2015.
This app shows DPF soot in grams (only in 5-cylinder Volvo diesels), engine oil temp, automatic transmission temp, charging current, battery SoC, aircon pressure, aircon fan speed, etc. Much better than Torque...
However, this app cannot read above parameters in new 4-cylinder VEA engines, nor in older Volvos -2007.
