I have a 2009 JSW TDI with 120,000 miles and I've had the P0401 CEL code come and go. I also have soot in the tailpipe. Drives fine and no noticeable drop in MPG or performance.
I plan to use the buyback, so hope to be out of the car in a couple of months.
My concern is whether driving with the EGR issues will damage the engine before I have time to return the car to VW (date uncertain, but sounds like buybacks might start in November).
SO, is continuing to drive the car harming the engine enough to be concerned about getting another 5,000 miles out of the car?
Thanks
