DPF Issues >> VCDS >> Advice needed

[Akeel]

Having issues with my Audi A3 170 BHP 2008 DPF.

The DPF light came on a couple of times over the last few months, each time I took it for a blast on the motorway high revs etc and it went off, However over the weekend it has come back on along with the glowplug & engine management light. The car has also gone into limp mode.

Reading up on the forums i understand it now needs a forced regen by hooking the car up to VCDS. Is this correct? Does anyone know any place in the Birmingham/ WestMidlands i can do this without having to fork out silly money? 

Cheers,

Quite possible yes. I'd suggest it needs plugging in anyway to check what fault codes are stored and go from there...
