DPF Regeneration c207 E350 2009

[pauliusx9]

Hi, I am looking for software supporting DPF regen on c207 e350cdi 2009 and DPF pressure sensor adaption. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Could you clarify the question, because of course xentry star diagnosis is best suited for this.

Could you clarify the question, because of course xentry star diagnosis is best suited for this.

I've been using other software such as Delphi/Autocom, but they do not support this option. Have not tried Xentry yet (quite new to this forum, and anything related to Xentry).

Have you tried dpf regen using xentry? If so, do you have any tips on doing such a thing?

In Xentry there is a guided test if you are suspicious about DPF sensor condition. The first sensor connector design (wiring harness side) had reliability problems and a new connector design come out early 2010's,. When I purchased a new sensor the spare parts guy proposed me to change the connector at the same time but it was already taken care of by previous owner.

The DPF sensor does not need any adaptation (after sensor exchange).

The regeneration is also a guided process, you take the car out, ensure there is fuel in the tank, start the regen with Xentry and let the engine run approximately 20 min,. You'lll be told when it is ready. That's all.

Xentry is practically available in two versions XDOS (Mercedes Multiplexer, costs more) and XPT (PassThru SAE J2534 Interface costs cheaper). Installation of the software has now become quick and easy. Xentry's functionality is self-explanatory and best suited to your approach.

Thank you for the advice albert and jysi.

jysi could you confirm the exact issue you've had and what would be the sign faulty connector? I've replaced my DPF sensor, but 2 months later same issue persisted, therefore not sure whether it is the sensor or the connector.

albert to start with, I am looking for something cheaper. Would you say that a £20 "GODIAG J2534 Diagnostic Cable" from eBay would be sufficient?

I've fixed the problem actually twice, first time (when the connector issue was brought up) several years ago. I did not had a problem with the connector myself, but the sensor is differential analog sensor; if I remember correctly 0 Pa means half Vcc (operating voltage) on the output. Broken connection would mean constant or intermittent full or zero value. I do not remember anymore how I came to the conclusion it is the sensor, but I changed it and it fixed the problem.

The second one was recently - occasionally "engine fault" light comes on and in the failure codes you could see the DPF sensor values were not plausible. In idle the reading was negative (should never be) and with the sensor test it was clear it is not OK. I purchased a new one and installed it and the problem went away.

If you end up changing the sensor, check the connector as well (a clean up would do no harm) as well as the tubes to DPF. I used compressed air to blow any carbon off inside the tubes.

If you plan to keep the car longer, my recommendation would be to buy a Openport (or a clone if you want to control the budget) and find the SW you need from here,

SM2pro Chinese or Original works very well with Xentry. A lot has been written here about Openport, which also works well with Xentry.
These were the best J2534 interfaces in terms of recognising control units in Mercedes vehicles.
Xentry itself helps a lot in diagnosing Mercedes vehicles, repair guide is integrated and helps you.

jysi albert It's quite hard to source SM2pro and Open port 2.0 in the UK. These are only being shipped from Aliexpress (not even sure if they are legit). What's your experience with buying one? Additionally, if I go for a Godiag j2534 Diagnostics cable, do you think it is going to be less capable in comparison to your suggestions?

 

[albert]

On AliExpress, most of them are replicas, the price of original Scannmatik (SM2pro) is around 550 €
Tactrix Openport 2.0 at 229€.
I think it will only be individual Ecus, that's not the point.
I don't know whether Godiag J2534 xentry supports.
