Looking for a recommendation for which dealer to use for the Emission fix.
I've been holding off doing it on my '09.
But the time has come, particle filter light is on. I've tried forcing the regen with VagCom but it doesn't clear it.

Got a long drive ahead of me on Monday, maybe somewhere in that 550km it will clear itself.

Thanks, I never applied for the compensation. It's a rebuilt title on the car, and the timing of when I got it and when the title went from Salvage to rebuilt kinda fell into a grey area so I just never bothered.

update is that the particle filter light cleared itself just doing city driving. I kept taking it for these highway runs trying to get the revs up to heat it.

If the particle filter light is on, it may be that your filter is cracked. Check your tailpipe to see if the pipe is black. if so, your filter has failed and the soot is getting into the EGR

I got my settlement work done at Dixie VW. I was very happy. Don't go to Mississauga VW. Very unhappy experience there
