I'm about 300 miles from home. JSW TDI post pollution update, particle filter known to be clogged. Today, JSW went into limp mode. Codes are p0401, p2002, p240f and p0299.
Anyone know if I can drive it home without causing damage to the engine? Thanks in advance.

Sorry to hear about your peoblem. May I recommend you have it towed to a local VW dealer. You are under warranty and HAVE ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE (free tow).

Then I would rent a car to get home. A cheap sub compact is weekly rate, is only $25 a day. If you can get a family member or friend to pick you up do that. Even if you have to spend a night in hotel it is worth it. No way would I limp home 300 miles. For one if you do more damage VW may void warranty.

Best of luck
