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!
