[QUOTE="YellowBay69, post: 645533, member: 28806"] Ha …. diesel particulate filter. Sits in exhaust and collects nasties from exhaust gas … so that it can pass emissions. Stupid thing is when it decides it wants to it just spits it all out in one go so it makes no difference whatsoever!! Apparently when they regularly get clogged up people get them removed (internals only) then remap ecu to account for a 0 reading from the sensor. It’s illegal to do and illegal to use (£1000 fine) and can nil your insurance. So - stupid Vw garage insisted on updating ecu and car gone into limp mode because it’s getting a 0 reading from the dpf. Now stupid VW garage are having to pay some dodgy teenager to remap ecu to ignore dpf reading so I can get the car back in the drivable state it was in when I initially took it to them …. FOR A BULB CHANGE!! 🤬 [/QUOTE]
