Sorry to here this; trip to your dealer ASAP to avoid compounding any problems, I'm afraid to say.

There are several threads on this subject if you do a 'search'; but here is what I think is the most recent one;-

Try skoda assistance if you've got it, to tow the car to nearest dealer.

Is it a derv VRS

If so they did have known issues which caused these sort of symptoms. Your dealer would be able to fix it though.

DPF light is caused because the DPF is clogging up, seems to be a common problem on the TDI vRS where the car is mostly driven round town. Take it to the dealer so they can manually trigger the regeneration cycle.

The DPF light has gone off now.

EML still on. going to try to get home tomorrow (200 miles|)

Im booked in for Thursday morning at the dealer. Fingers crossed i get home ok

Try giving it a good blast if you can; you ought to get a few full throttle opportunities somewhere on the way home.
