Hi all! This is my first post so want to say hello to everyone!
I am having some issues with my TDI so wanted to run stuff by you guys before I start swapping stuff out.
Background: I bought my 2011 Jetta TDI right before the news broke about the diesel scandal and since the "fix" I have had to have the DPF replaced twice and the EGR and intake manifold serviced once each. ( I did this through the dealer)
I am currently seeing the P2002 and P0401 codes which is what I was seeing the first two times this happened.
I haven't driven it much since that came on but the last time I did the glow plug light came on and the car went into limp mode so now I am scared to drive it. I also have black soot at the tail pipe and it smells bad when I start it up.
I have read many forum posts and watched multiple videos on the subject trying to educate myself and I have come to the conclusion that these emission systems are pretty complicated and multiple things can cause the codes I am seeing. It sounds like the soot at the tail pipe is a definite sign of a cracked DPF if I am understanding what I have read.
I had considered selling the vehicle but I love the car and it is in great condition other than the DPF issue and it having 200k+ miles on it so I have decided to try to fix it myself this time since funds are short.
As a side note I replaced the radiator about a month ago which I assume is why I am getting P0480 code. I need to double check the plug is seated on there.
I have access to a VCDS and below is the readings for the relevant codes and my current listed mileage and soot level.
Based on my research I assume I need to replace the DPF and the EGR (and EGR cooler?) unless those can be cleaned somehow and possibly clean the intake manifold unless you guys see something from the below that makes more sense. Any advice is appreciated!
