I have a small battle on my hands between VW of America and the local dealer (Folsom Lake VW) after it has been determined that CEL & code P2002 that the DPF IS bad. Soot in the tailpipe and build up in the DPF filter that the DPF/catalytic converter assembly need to be replaced on my 2012 VW Golf TDI The dealer and VW of America is refusing to help after their Master Tech noted that my car had a replacement K&N Filter element in the factory airbox. Nobody at the dealer has ever made mention in the past that this could potentially void the warranty.
The backstory on the car. 2012 Golf TDI, 91,XXX miles, and had the "fix" done appx 8K ago. I've done all of the maintanence, changed the oil every 5K, and the car has never had an issue. I love the car still despite it not feeling the as good as it did before the fix and loss of MPG.
I know that there is an extended warranty on the exhaust and emission system on TDI vehicles that had undergone the "fix"
Can anyone offer up any suggestions? I do live in California so doing a DPF delete and so it's not a feasible option. The dealer wants appx 2700.00 to perform the repair.
Any advice is appreciated and will try to upload an image of the service paperwork.
