Is the DPF in a Volkswagen Golf covered under warranty?
Is the DPF in a VW Golf covered under warranty?
Car now in limp mode after the DPF did not regenerate. After doing what was recommended in manual, I took the car on a long drive at high revs. The dealership fixed it once, it lasted a week now same problem has happened, VW garage are now refusing liability. Do I have any comeback on the dealership?

If the car is being used for repeated short runs from cold then the problem is the way the car is being used.

Comfortable and quiet on the move, enjoyable to drive. Nicely trimmed with great attention to detail. 1.4 TSI sweeter to drive than a diesel.
