Sorry. My grammar and spelling is horrific .

I have an 59 Plate Laurin & Klement 2.0 PD TDi Auto DSG saloon with 150k miles and on a recent trip towing a braked trailer at 50mph all of a sudden the car kicked into limp home mode and would not exceed 40mp at 3000rpm in 3rd. I made it home no problem. Unhooked the trailer. Took the car for a good run (it resets itself out of limp mode when you restart it) and it seems to have stopped happening and has returned to normal. I am presuming it was the DPF that needed regenerated as my wife does a lot of small trips in this car and think that it was perhaps clogged a bit and needed burnt off. The warning symbol stays on and was wondering if there was a hack to get the warning light to go off. Thanks in advance.

Every 10 of 15 starts starter will turn but car fails to fire up. If I continuously crank the oil warning light comes in saying oil pressure. Then if I leave it say about 20 minutes...it will fire up no bother. Just cruised the MOT. Brand new oil and filter. Any ideas?

F16 replaced. Makes sense. I was towing a trailer and tow electrics are hard wired into rear lights. Hence the additional load. Would it be worth perhaps increasing this to perhaps 20 amp for when towing? Now that is sorted my ABS light is on. Any ideas? -
Some of the lights on my 2009 Laurin and Klement DSG have failed. All bulbs are good. It's criss crossed. So front right headlight out.. rear left tailight. Front left fog out ... right brake light.... marker lights on left taillights out... right one is good. Left front turn signal.good. right rear turn signal good. All fuses good. All bulbs good.. Any ideas?

I recently purchased a 2009 Octavia L&K DSG for my wife with the Columbus DVD/Satnav. It works normally during driving but when I shut off the car or even switch it off while driving I hear a very faint whirring noise. This goes on for 10-15 minutes after engine is shut off and keys are removed. No CD in it. Does not sound like the CD/DVD drive turning. More like a cooling fan. Any ideas?
