The max is usually around 80% on mine.

The differential pressure sensor and hoses are another possibility, and the vapouriser cokes up:

Hopefully a glitch.
Worked out how to set up the gauges and watched them today driving to work. DPF soot levels started at 90%.

Almost as soon as I started driving the EGT and CAT temps went up to 650'C. Soot levels dropped down to about 25% over about 15/20km then EGT's dropped down to 200ish.

Then the soot levels slowly started building up for the next 50km to around 45% when I returned the ELM scanner to its owner (Rob the Coffee Van Man) and continued the next 50km to work. Looks like the burn must happen every 150/200km?

Some "Googling" at work and I have a OBDLink MX winging its way to me via eBay - I choose this one as it has good reviews from Mondaveo and supports MS CAN. The borrowed one was a V Gate that could be had for a few dollars.

Can you use Forscan to initiate a manual burn on the Mondeo? I had a quick look but didn't have much time to play with it
