Have got the same issue. Driving  along  the motorway. And as slowing down to go in to a service station. Flashing glow plug light. Engine warning light. And limp mode and engine  fault.  Workshop  message

Had the dreaded flashing glow plug symbol last week, diagnosed as an EGR fault. Rang local dealership, suggested that it should be covered by the TBM, car in their workshop yesterday, they confirmed today that the costs will be covered by the TBM, should have the car back by Thursday. Although VAG won't admit that the emissions fix is causing accelerated ageing of components, there apparently isn't much resistance to getting work carried out under the TBM.

 

Has anyone had the DPF fail after the EGR has been replaced?

Did the checks as found on the forum but all appeared fine. Went out for a wee while but back again with a vengeance. 

 

Took the plunge and visited my local dealer for a diagnostics check. EGR value 'cream crackered' on a 12 plate Superb estate that has done 58k? Not sure if it has any bearing but this is one of the recall vehicles from the emissions issues!

 

Shock & horror quoted just over £1,000 for the work to be carried out!! 

 

Thoughts of Briskoda experts please!
