Diesel particulate filter warning light audi. Audi a8 quattro warning light is on inspection minneapolis minnesota. No dashboard warning lights should remain on during the test. I alternate between supermarket fuel and bp. Removing the dpf will sometimes cause the warning light to glow and this itself is an mot failure point.

If the emmission control light and or the engine managment warning light come on at the same time as the dpf there s a more serious fault. The diesel particulate filter light turns on when the soot level from the diesel exhaust is high and your car is at risk of going into limp mode. I m not sure how long i can go on trying to do longish runs to clear the fault without causing more serious damage. The particulate filter warning light came on two days ago.

Given the cost of a replacement diesel particulate filter the manufacturers may just as well replace the dpf warning light with one which illuminates a row of or signs because that is what can happen if the dpf warning light goes ignored for a long period a huge bill for a replacement often running into four. I read the manual which suggested running the car in fourth or fifth above 2000rpm for 15 minutes and the light should clear. Tried this with no joy.
