    VW Scirocco DPF light/engine management light

    He has cleared all codes and took it out of limp mode and no problems have recurred as of yet (done about 300 miles) but he expects they will soon. Will most likely mean a new EGR and he also recommended that I either reset the car back to standard (get rid of the stage 1 remap) or get the remap...
