DPF problem

[gstadt]

Got a '56 170 with the dreaded DPF, had a few problems with the warning light coming on and having to call Audi Roadside Assistance who have managed to use VAG.com to regenerate.

This last time, I drove home and the glowplugs warning came on as well. Called the RAC man and he wasn't able to regenerate due to the particulate levels going over 90%, he says I have to get a new DPF at the cost of ~£1500 .

Is there a way of sorting this without spending that kind of money? All advice welcome

When I have saved some pennies, I am going down this route - Remove DPF + Remap = More Power + Better economy = Problem solved - See Linky http://www.jbsautodesigns.co.uk/listing/201/diesel-dedpf

Do they do these for the 3.0 with a DPF?
