Hello everyone, I am having a lot of bother with the DPF on my 08 diesel vRS Octy, 113k miles. It comes on from time to time but 2 or 3 miles in 2nd or 3rd gear at 3k revs+ and the light goes out. However before Xmas it did not and in it went, faulty sensor apparently. I have done 1300 miles since and it must have come on 6 or 7 times since. I have got it off by the above method but twice I did not only to start the next morning and the light is off. Today I have been driving at high revs trying to get the light off again and failed. The dashboard lights have come on and the turbo has gone to sleep. I was due to go on a long journey tomorrow morning and have had to cancel, very annoying. I will on to the dealer at 0800 tomorrow to sort it out. Any ideas anyone? Ordered new Superb last week, may be the Octy knows!

If a sensor has been replaced and its still having issues I guess the DPF is on its way out...

I would of thought life expectancy wouldn't be much more than 113k?

Mine went @ 76k :'(

Kenich, how did you know exactly when it had 'gone'?

i would get it remapped and dpf diesel particle filter bypass so then you will not have the dpf light problem
