- 2013 Jetta TDI w/ Premium, DSG (Buyback Nov 2018); 2013 Jetta TDI (bought Dec 2018); also, bought a CPO 2017 Passat TSI (Nov 2018)
MY CEL just came on and it's a P2002 Code: "Particulate Trap Efficiency Below Threshold"
I plan on doing the buyback very soon, good chance within 30-60 days. Can I do any major harm driving the car for 30-60 days, which would probably be no more than about 1,500 miles?
Also, is there anything I can do to make the problem go away? I've been doing just a little reading up on it. If I drive the car a little hard at higher RPMs for 20 minutes, might that make the problem go away?
