I can join the list of happy people - called VW customer services on Monday; today Breeze VW in Poole fitted 4 new injectors and loom. No difference in how the car runs, but a huge amount of "peace of mind" - because it is my wifes car.
Well done VW.
55 plate BKP engine with just over 70,000mls on the clock.
Cheers toddy!
May be a coincidence after having my injectors changed, but for the first time in 3 years my DPF light came on. Followed the recommended driving style to burn off the soot, and light was out within 5 mins. Hopefully that's the end of the matter.
Just got my car back on Friday after they replaced the machrotronics(spelling?) unit because of the DSG gearbox fault, now to call up VW customer service on monday an find out what the deal is here.
Exactly the same happened to me today! What was really weird is that I daily do a 15 minute motorway journey so it should always burn off???Quote:

Weird!
Another coincidence - I notice you have the 170 and so do I!
Lets add to the coincidences - Is yours a 2007 then?
Not a coincidence on the 170PD. They all have DPF as standard and it was an optional extra for the 140, which not many people took.
So what does DPF give in terms of advantages - lower road tax?
Yer lower road tax! I want mine removing, apparently they weren't designed for the PD engine, only the CR!! If the fault reoccurs, pm me. I had mine go!!
