does your accelerator feel dead sensative. i have this with mine however mines s-tronic, i've always put it down to ECU and DPF combining, ive never received the DPF light. My throttle becomes really sensitive and it almost sounds abit more grunty if that's rite word. has bit of a burble.
hope this helps

Could be a variety of things tbh, best to get vcds on it & do some logs to check coolant readings, senders, injectors etc, hard to diagnose from that post.
problem solved was out in car this morning and dpf light came on, took it down the motorway sat in 5th gear at 70 for half an hour light out and idle back to 800 rpm .... cheap fix thank f..k..............
