So I have just bought an A1 1.6tdi 2014 for my daughter. When shutting the engine off sometimes theres a burning smell and the fan runs fir a minute or so. ( temp gauge always says 90 °. I assumed it was the dpf doi g its thing so I've downloaded vag dpf and got the following. Could anyone explain the figures to me and let me know if I'm doomed ?

Oh the car has no fault codes and drives lovely.

Thanks

I can't help with the specifics, although from the knowledge I do have that looks OK to me.

In terms of the car's behaviour, if a regen is going on, don't switch the engine off. It can be hard to tell when it is doing something, but if there's a smell, higher idle speed, engine feeling like it's working a little harder, it's advisable to let the engine run until it returns to normal before shutting it off.

That's a handy little app - presume there's a dongle that plugs into the OBD port to read the data?
