Ask what the 'DPF ash loading' number is. Mine was 108ml @ 120k miles, which means mine is 65% full.
There are some places that clean truck DPFs, but I haven't seen anything here that says that VW DPFs can be cleaned like that.
I've seen 2 dealer DPF replacement costs posted on this site in recent months, and they were for $2200 and $2400, the latter being near me in MI. That included 10 hours of labor. So check around for a better price if it's the DPF.
