Help, broken down .dpf error & power loss

[skymaster]

Hi, currently awaiting RAC to attend. Set off from work & had a warning saying DPF check manual. Then orange warning light flashing (the squiggly one) no power & won't rev up...

Any ideas? It's a 3.0 TDI 2008 a4

DPF pressure sensor maybe, maybe clogged DPF. Could be anything until its scanned.

Usually we have to take them off and have them professionally cleaned then reset the systems when back together plus often we have to fit a new pressure sensor.

We've managed to get it going ... He turned the warning light off & the car came out of limp mode... Seemed ok for the journey home ��... We got it hot & revved it a lot ... I'll see how it is in the morning ...
