Default DPF Trap 4.2TDi

OK Guys,

I've got a flashy coil light and MIL, and more importantly, no power at all really, limp mode is a bitch!

VCDS reports Particulate Trap Bank 2 has efficiency below threshold. Looking at some other posts, a swap is going to be scarily expensive, so I'm looking at 2 options here:

1 - DPF removal and re-map

2 - Clean them myself, but that probably means I need a ramp to get to them.

Anyone got any experience on number 2? Bloody typical that it happens on a Friday afternoon when I need to drive to Manchester on Monday morning.

Or... if I forced a regenerate cycle with VCDS, might that sort it out? It'll clear , but after a bit of gas, it comes back
