Dpf light

[Stretch85]

Hi , should the dpf light come on when ignition is turned and then go off, 63 plate mk7 swb 100

Yes it should light up when ignition is 1st switched on then go out.

Looks like someone pulled the bulb on mine then

No the light should not be ON with ignition on.

Mk7 doesnt have a dpf light

Mk7's with DPF fitted (Euro 5) do have DPF light
Also listed in owners handbook...

There a icon for it on cluster that you can make out,
BUT,it's not used and doesn't light up under any circumstance on any mk 7 I've ever seen.

If dpf gets blocked,it puts EML on initially,past a certain level and power train lamp will come on too.
There is no lamp to indicate a re-gen is in progress either.
(Whether that dpf indicator works in other countries I don't know,but deffo not on a U.K. Van)

It's only the latest pcm level,and cluster level mk8s that give a message for 'drive to clean' or Regen in progress

Thank you, Transit connect does have a light (someone correct me if I am wrong) but mk7 defo doesn't

Yes Transit Connect has DPF light.

Strange one with mk7 though. My neighbour's 2014 mk7 T280 100ps SWB has got one

The old shape connect also has a cluster icon for dpf regen,
Which,also does nothing......

Nothing other than mk8 as I've said(message centre),has an actual functioning dpf lamp...
Yes the icon is in cluster,and at the very best may come on at 'key on' self test.
(Tho I'm sure it doesn't)
It performs no actual function..
