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.
