Assistance for diesel particulate filter and reduced engine power in BMW X3 Diesel 2008

Hello dear community, I need your support. My BMW X3 Diesel from 2008 with 189,600 km on the odometer is causing me a bit of concern. The check engine light is on, the engine power is significantly reduced, the DPF regeneration seems to be failing, my exhaust smells rather strong and is louder than usual. The last few times at the mechanic have really hit the wallet, so I wanted to ask here if anyone has had similar experiences and could possibly fix their problem more cheaply. I suspect problems with the diesel particulate filter, the message 'Remaining distance low' is also displayed. I would be grateful for any tips!

The BMW X3 Diesel 2008 is experiencing reduced engine power and issues with the diesel particulate filter (DPF). The check engine light is on, the exhaust smells strong and is louder than usual, and the message 'Remaining distance low' is displayed. The problem could be due to the DPF reaching its service life limit, especially with high mileage and frequent city driving. The suggested solution is to have the DPF cleaned and a software update performed by a mechanic. Other suggestions include forced regeneration and resetting the DPF status in the software. However, if the problem persists, the DPF may need to be replaced.

Hello, Either you have the DPF professionally cleaned or you replace the DPF. The cheaper alternative is of course to have the filter professionally cleaned.

Hello, the original AGM battery had 90 Ah and 900 A, the new one has 100 Ah and 950 A. There are no such parameters in the new battery registration settings. There is 90 Ah and 105 Ah. I have set it to 105 Ah and registered it. Will the new battery be overcharged? If you leave it at 90 Ah, is the charge likely to be insufficient? BMW X3, gasoline, 2.8

Hello nigorbel, It's important to register the new battery with the correct capacity to ensure the vehicle's charging system works properly. If you've installed a 100 Ah battery, but registered it as 105 Ah, the system might slightly overcharge the battery over time, which could reduce its lifespan. Conversely, if you register it as 90 Ah, the system might undercharge it, which could affect the vehicle's performance. I'd recommend contacting a BMW specialist or the battery manufacturer for advice on the best course of action.

Hello, I would like to know if Carly would be useful for me to make a regeneration of the particulate filter in my 2008 honda accord. Thank you for your answers.

Hello kmelot, Carly is a versatile tool, but its capabilities can vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle. For your 2008 Honda Accord, I would recommend checking with Carly's customer service or their website to see if the tool supports DPF regeneration for your specific vehicle.

So, news from the DPF. I had requested the DPF regeneration before my vacation and then drove 3500 km in 2 stages. It did nothing. Still the message "low remaining running time". 13.5 grams of soot in the filter instead of max. 1.5 grams. The only thing left for me to do is to remove it and have the DPF professionally cleaned by a specialist
