Hello people,

 Got my lass a 2008 audi A3 2.0tdi 170 s-tronic about 6 months ago, when we first got it, it went into limp mode with the DPF filter so it went back to the dealer and force regened the DPF.

Now it's starting to bloody stink again!

Should I take it back to the dealer again (out of waurantee) or

Get the DPF mapped out and get a cheeky remap at the same time.

Is there anything I should be looking out for when it remapped will the DSG/S-tronic be ok with the remap its had both full and dsg service about 2000 mile ago. The car has 53000 on the clock.

Cheers Dan

Find someone with vcds near you and force regeneration again.

Sorry for got to mention the car has only done 3000mile since the last regen. Surely this can't be right? Will a forced regen sort this problem?

Cheers Dan

Ah....lol

Remap FTW! Dsg car is better than manual when it comes to remapping, don't need to worry about the clutch being shredded!

Get the DPF removed and go for the remap. The Darkside Developments pipe is a lovely piece of kit and what I have fitted to mine. Cheaper than the Milltek aswell. Get it done sooner rather than later. I have heard of DPF's when properly blocked damaging engines due to the gasses having nowhere to go.
