VW Golf Mk7 - Glow Coil, DPF, flat battery?
« on: 12 January 2021, 20:04 »
Alright Team

New to the Golf club, the proud owner of a Lupo for quite a number of years and recently upgraded to a 17 Plate Golf Estate 2.0 TDI. Bought it at 32k miles, with full-service history from a VW garage.

Driven it quite a bit over the Christmas period, lots of long drives for work. Most recently, its started to develop some issues that I hope you can help with:

1. Diesel Particulate Filter light came on, fixed by driving at 31-75mph as per owners manual.
2. A few days -after Glow coil warning light flashing, paired with EM light.
3. Next day- Battery low/ Car refuses to start on the drive.

Error codes that I read:

P2456 - DPF Differential Pressure Sensor
P0299 - Turbocharger/Supercharger Underboost
P2456 - Circuit Intermittant/ Eratic


The dealership has come and picked it up this evening. Hoping the can have a gander.

Anyone with experience/ have a bat at what could be the issue?

Thinking sensor issue, but that doesnt explain the flat battery?

Cheers
