    ok, onto the DPF doing very frequent regens and failing. I can do a forced regen with Vagcom and and watch soot levels go down etc, and ends successfully, but then a check engine light comes on in a day or 2 (8863 (P2459)) I travel about 60 miles each day and take the freeway and will cruise at...

    Turbo impeller does spin, but is hard to spin, no play in our out, up or down, when I get it fully off, will tear down to fully inspect to see what happened. Ps 159k miles on it, so out of extended warranty
