Hi,
I wanted to share this android app, for those who don't know (especially important for those diesel owners),
You have to buy it on amazon app and install like third party apps and give permission etc..

![91742]( "91742")
its a OBD app but specifically for Peugeot and it will show a lot engine specific very detailed information not available on the other OBD apps
like;
-battery state of charge % (AntBattCharge) => usefull for those seeking info why S/S didn't work.... the battery charge needs to be higher than 70% for S/S to work. if its below 30% your car won't probably start, 40-50% is really low (like my car..) it will charge after a long drive and if after long drive it still shows ~50% you need to change you battery. if battery normal, it will charge up to 80%.
-DPF soot load (Weight of soot in the FAP) => this shows the current soot load on dpf, when it reaches 18-20g/l (means DPF nearly full) it triggers the regen if conditions are right
-DPF deposit load (deposits in FAP) => Because of the Eolys (FAP fluid or DPF fluid) is used.. this leaves a deposit inside the dpf that can't be burned and if it reaches a number the DPF need to be replaced. (side note, Eolys helps reduce the soot burn temperature down (roughly 400degC so the soot in DPF can be burned passively while driving(no need for regen). if Eolys was not used, the temperature need to be 600-650degC to burn the soot (this is regen and its called active burn) eventually you need regen but the Eolys help increase the regen intervals, so you need less frequent regen.
-DPF deposit % (Cinder count in FAP) => same as above but shows percentage of DPF plugged. I think around 40% the ECU will give an error to replace DPF ( because its nearly half plugged)
-Volume of additive reservoir mL=> the max volume of Eolys tank.
-Volume of additive in reservoir mL => remaining amount of Eolys ( when close to zero you need to replace ( I think it was expensive 300£.. something from dealer, also side note, always fill up your tank to full from close to empty as the Eolys injector willl inject each time you refill but it will usually overcompensate and inject more each time.
I think you won't need to worry until you car is like +100k miles.
Last Regen Before => how many miles you did before the last regen.
Last 10 Regen ave => as name suggest you last 10 regen interval average.
FAP distance travelled => the mileage done with the installed DPF, shows the vehicles mileage if DPF not changed.
FAP life left => Due to the deposit buildup in DPF, it calculates how many miles it can last before the DPF needs changing ( the model that calculates this, takes into account of engines past conditions and this number can get lower). ( as usual its roughly 100-125k miles) this actually shows when you need to sell your car at... +100k miles as it needs DPF change and Eolys fill up I can't imagine the cost...
-OilDilution% => this shows how much % oil is diluted with fuel (during regen and late injections the fuel tend to go to the side skirt of cylinders and down in the oil pan) 0% no dilution, and any higher shows worse oil, I think 5% is really bad and time to change oil. this will be an issue if the engine has done many frequent regens.
-OilCarbon% => how much soot/carbon build up is in the oil, again 5% means its time to change oil. but these are just models inside ECU and most never reach the 5% if you drive normally...
-AC pressure (AirCPress)=> AC refrigerant circuit pressure, helpful for identiying the chronic AC problem on these 308s...
-Inj.1FlowCorr => injector correction factor, the ratio shows the multiplier to each injectors how much correction it need to inject the required fuel amount, useful for identifying bad injectors, default is 1, but around +-0.05 is ok, but the ECU will give you a fault before you can detect it, though its nice to see this info (and maybe get rid of the car before the injector fails...
-all airpath valve controls...if you think there is a problem with your valves...
AirMixer => intake throttle valve 0% open 100% closed,
EGRPosIntr => egr valve 0% closed 100% open
TurboGeomInstr => VGT vane position 0% open(low boost) 100% closed(max boost)
Any other labels or these ones please ask, I can answer as best as I can,
It can also connect to steering and AutoGearbox ECUs... but that is another topic
I don't own this app but found it very useful especially the DPF soot load so I can adjust my driving and go for a blast in the highway to do a regen when its close to full.
