2011 JSW 93,000 miles, DSG. Been hard to start when hot on and off for a week or so. Start, stall, start then run. Today on way home, CEL came on. auto zone pulled a P0401 code. Car runs fine except for hard start when hot. ideas?

Most likely crack DPF
Should still be covered under warranty
Call VW

Took it in to the dealer. They confirmed the DPF is toast along with some other components that are part of that system. 3-4 week back order time for the parts. Thanks again....

3-4 weeks? I havent had my car almost two months now... its sitting with the same issue in pieces. They replaced my Turbo, EGR components, Coolant Fan unit... and now waiting on a new DPF ...
