Stinger diagnostic tools

[psychoskip]

Hi does anyone know where I can get a diagnostic tool to regenerate the petrol particulate filter. Can’t seem to find one.

Do you have the dash error? I found it goes away after 40-50 km of constant driving at 130 km/h.

Yes but it’s flashing now.

Welcome. Moving this topic out of the community lounge and into the Stinger section...

Have you had the ECU update? What year is it?
Mine is 2019 and before they did the ECU recall update it had never successfully managed to do a GPF cleaning. It was only getting cleaned while driving at speed on the highway.

I think this is an EU thing, newer regulations require a particulate filter, we don't have these in NA.

You are exactly right. Starting 2019 most petrol cars sold in the EU come with a particulate filter (the Stinger has 2).
An ECU logic fault was preventing these filters from regenerating and a recall was issued. The ECU update fixed the issue, at least for my car.
