So ya, I found out last week I have a cracked DPF. I'm holding off on doing anything about it until we find out more about the dieselgate settlement, since the cost to repair is $2400.
2013 Jetta 6M, 108k
I had the car in for diagnostics, and a forced regen was performed. I've driven about 400 miles since then. I haven't had a naturally occurring regen since (but maybe I haven't gone long enough yet). The car is still running fine and I have seen no reduction in fuel economy.
Questions:
1. Will the car regen with the CEL on (it's throwing a P2002 code, diesel particulate filter efficiency below threshold B1)?
2. If it will not do a regen because of the CEL, would doing a forced regen cause any damage?
3. Would performing a forced regen have any benefit with a cracked DPF?
4. How long do you think the car can be driven in its current condition?
