GL350 Help - DPF/O2 Low boost

Well the X164 people here are waiting for an AEM ( Nov 21) .

I'm trying to get my car back on the road. Started with Oil leaks and burning from wrong oils and then a clogged DPF.
Adressed the leaks and now
DPF was taken out and baked and put back. The 2nd SCR with the o2 sensor bung broke and was welded back on.

I still have low boost and errors with the o2 after using Exentry to re-adapt them to the car.
DPF Fill level says 0 so it wont do a standing regen.

Any ideas where I should start
Attached is a Screenshot of xentry.
Thanks for all the input

O2 sensors re-adapt?

Did you replace oxygen sensor?
Don't think that should require any kind of adaptation after replacement, the one on mine didn't/doesn't.

What are the current codes if any, and is CEL on dashboard lit?
All the codes in your screenshot are Stored, meaning historical rather than currently active.
Is the DEF tank full? If not fill it up to be sure, the stuff is cheep.

How does it Drive now?
If it has low power and the RPM goes higher than normal before shifting, and struggles to accelerate or hold speed going up hills you may have a boost problem.
A bad boost problem will have you blowing black clouds out the back, but marginal one might not throw any codes.
If there's no current codes but limping / low power check for leaks in the hoses and connections going to intercooler. They would be making greasy areas in front of the motor.

One last thought about O2 sensors, they can set your CEL for a few days then you take a trip or just long way home. Next morning CEL is out.
Emission-related codes will clear themselves after the issue is fixed and car does a couple/three drive cycles. This is by design and you don't need a scanner to 'clear' codes.
Fixing the underlying issues is what clears codes ( at least, marks them Stored after being Active/Current ).

Those are all stored codes. Clear them and check what will come back after some driving.
What parts will AEM replace on your vehicle?
My E250 got new exhaust where emission systems are,

So when the DPF was taken out the parts after it that hold the secondary ( I think ) has a sensor that somehow broke at the bung. Mechanic welded the bung back but If im not mistaken that is the sensor giving code?

Im a total noob when it comes to xentery. What happened is I picked up the car after DPF cleaning with a CEL allready came home cleared the codes in Xentry ( or so I thought because CEL went off ) drove it trying to see if it would regen by istself. Car drives as if it has no power as I would assume it would like it has no boost cant make it up a hill and shifts down and hard revs to go anywhere. No black soot out of the exhaust and you can smell the DEF ( if that's a thing )

Adblue light is not on but somhow checked level dont know what it was in xentry, adding a box now.

Great idea I'll check of the hoses are loose I know i feel oil near the intercooler line that has the dampener on it the fat part as for driving its exactly as you mentioned

Will clear and check again, Im having a bit of trouble with doing the quick scan as I get an Ignition error in Xentry and then when I do my passthrough quits half way.


Really appreciate the hellp! been given the run around by so many mechanics wish my AEM Would come sooner as dpf and issues would hopefully be sorted by that.

Hi plugged in a Wifi Generic Obd and read the codes In this list I didn't include the ones that are inactive. After getting this list I cleared them with the Generic Obd and Ill go for a run to try to see if I can get it to do a DPF regen. Lots of codes below and sorry not ones from xentry , but I wanted to see if there is a clue hidden in here as to why I have no boost.
The crazy thing was one day randomly I was making 10psi of boost and bam one drive later nada. Took a screenshot of it with the Torque app. Could it be a turbo actuator? did I damage that from having a blocked dpf
Thanks

Car has been parked for exactly 1 year. This AEM for Bluetec cant come any faster. Figured they will resolve the issue then as the dpf is most likely the cause
