Golf 1.9TDI engine management light

[IliaP]

So the update:

took it the garage, they replaced the EGT sensor that was faulty, which now turned turbo back on. My DPF is pretty blocked though, dashboard still looks like a Christmas tree with engine and DPF lights constantly on and glow plug light flashing, however my turbo whistle is back and the fault code now reads P2002. So I took it for a spin hoping it i can kick the regeneration off, but it did not so going to take it tomorrow to initiate it through VCDS tool. Hopefully this will be the end of my problems.

But i am wondering whether i should have taken it for a longer drive, kept it at 70-80mph in 4th gear for 15 min twice (to a junction and back) and may be going for a good solid 30 min uninterrupted would do the trick, or whether i should not risk it getting more blocked and let the garage emergency regen it?

Hi IliaP, did you get down to the bottom of this/get this resolved?
