Well the dreaded DPF light has come on 4 days after having the recall done,so took it for a long drive to clear it and light remains on.this would usually have cleared it and have heard horror stories about gt sports running perfect then after recall having problems with the dpf.Try and regen it 2moro and if this does'nt work might have to remove it.

Oh dear not another one :sad:
Equally it could be a sensor that has failed. I wouldnt bother trying a regen as you may cause irreparable damage :sad:

Two things for them to check is
A) have the injectors been fitted properly. Lots of reports suggest the seals arent seated correctly
B) that the timing is set correctly

cheers rhyso, thanks for your help will mention this when car goes in, also the car does'nt seem to drive any different with dpf light on, my last gt sport would run rough when light was on.

Is it the DPF light or the engine light?
If its the latter it could be a throttle body / EGR problem. I had a customer with that problem which he ignored and ended up killing his DPF :rolleyes:

Rhyso car now has dpf light & coil light on & it's went into limp mode.not sure what to do as the injector recall was done in Newcastle & I'm up in glasgow so impossible to take it back to them.

Forgot to say engine management light is also on,could there be damage to the engine.

Injector is a warranty issue so just take it to your local dealer
All the lights on means you've won the jackpot :laugh:

I did'nt think my local garage would touch it cause they did'nt do the work.Also will my dealer not hit me with the usual it's nothing to do with the new injectors.

it could be coincidence. you could do with finding a forum member nearby who's handy with vagcom

Lots of the same stories on ASN where dealers have failed to fit the injectors properly :lipsrsealed:
Im lucky it seems; mine were fitted by a bunch of apprentices down in Cardiff Audi :laugh: :laugh:

Car going in to vw on Monday & they seem to think it just needs a regen,I nearly bust out laughing,also told them car was running perfect a week ago just before it had recall,to this they said they don't think it's anything to do with the recall.I'll need to calm down before Monday because think I'm going to strangle one of the techs.

Car now fixed and running well for the past 5 days fingers crossed,had a new inlet manifold fitted at vw,could probably have removed the old one and cleaned the insides and saved myself £
