- 2011 JSW 6M gone back to VWoA, 1996 Passat Wagon (RIP)
So, I got the CEL and dreaded P0401 code yesterday for the second time in the past few months. Reading previous forum posts suggests that this is a very bad thing as in cracked DPF when accompanied by soot in the tailpipes which I also have. 83000 miles... out of warranty of course.
Would appreciate input from others who have experienced this and what solution is needed. Is it DPF and EGR filter replacement only or does everything downstream from the DPF also have to be replaced? What cost might be expected?
This is a 2011 JSW 6MT purchased new in January of 2011. It has seen the dealer only once since then for a software update. All regular maintenance done by me as per recommended schedule.
Needless to say, this makes me most unhappy :-(
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom! Log attached below FYI...
