It could, but this is the first ive heard of one failing

Have you had it scanned?

Just had the switch replaced cleared the fault..no other faults showing but emissions light, Eml, and flashing coil showing on display..tried doing regen of dpf on motorway but no luck..then tried force regen using vag com but still no luck.. Car still in limp mode..no faults showing either?.

No mate. No faults showing.. That's the strange thing.. Worst case then looks like dpf delete and removal!..cars only done 42k..
Just cant understand dpf getting blocked!..

You wouldnt get all those lights for DPF - it has its own light

If lights are on, I dont get why theres no fault. Doesnt make any sense

How old is the car?

That makes sense! So had another scan done and this what came up
01314 engine control module no signal/ communication.. Intermittent?

Any ideas?

Has it been remapped at all? That error points to an ECU related fault
