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?
