Particulate Filter
Friend has just taken his A6 2.0L TDi into the garage today as last week a light appeared on his dash, then 60 miles later the car went into limp home mode!!
His is a 2007 model and he was told that in 2007 new legislation for emissions was released in the UK and this newer filter had to be fitted to all new diesels. It has cost him £300 to get it sorted and was told that expect to be back in 12 months time - every 12 months. Its due to the unit needing to be at a certain temperature to work - clean itself - but the bloke (at an Audi independant) reckons that it never happens......... Does the A8 3.0 and 4.2 TDi's suffer from this also? And is the guy talking out of his @rse  Cheers
