2013 Jetta TDI manual
First post looking for any suggestions from the brain trust. Bought a 2013 Jetta TDI this summer used from Carvana. Car had the emissions modification / fix before I bought it. I love the car but I’m about to take it back to local VW dealer for the 2nd time in 2 months.

First time was 40k miles, check engine light with P0401 EGR insufficient flow, dealership replaced EGR filter and replaced DPF under extended warranty for emissions modification.

Now check engine light is back at 50k with P2459 DPF regeneration frequency. Should still be under extended warranty, but going back to the dealer shop every 10k miles is going to get old and the extended warranty will expire eventually.

Any ideas?

You are better off going to DPF/EGR delete and malone tune 2. You will never look back.
