Hi All

Just returned from a 300 odd mile trip up north over 2 days. About 20 miles from home and the dreaded DPF light came on for the first time since I have had the car (4 years but only done 18,000 miles in that time). Current mileage is 101,000 miles.

Admittedly most of the way home was at 50MPH due to unnecessary motorway restrictions but I did get up to 70MPH on a few occasions for short periods. When I parked up there was a whirring noise from the engine for quite some time even with the engine off.

Fortunately the car is not in limp mode but what can I do to get rid of this light?

All advice very much appreciated.

The car is a Q5 2015 Sline+ with 101,000 miles, 2.0TDI Triptronic.
