Dpf warning light intermittent (Terraclean time?)

[cfdave]

Hi guys.
I've had my mk3 fr 184 for about 2 years now with no real problems.
I've had the car remapped when I fist had it by a reputable company. And has been great.
The car now has 95k.
Last week my dpf warning light came on. It's flashing intermittently now?
I drive the car daily 25 miles to work. And once a week on 300 round trip to Bournemouth. So I do enough miles/time in the car.
Why would it come on? Should I Invest in a Terraclean? Or buy a dpf cleaner etc?
Any advice or help would be massively appreciated.
Or anyone had the same problem?
Thank you guys.

Personally I thnk both are a waste of money. There are loads of places now (including mobile) that remove and chemical clean the DPF. That's where I'd spend my money:

Avoid Terraclean mate all it will do is remove the soot not the ash snake oil for cars. Mate of mine had his golf done 2 months later he was in the same position with Terraclean blaming his driving.

As above the on car cleaning is not in the same league as off car. If you choose to go on car ask them to show the ash levels before and after without them resetting them as some do.

I had a look at this because they are local to me. The website says they won't clean the dpf with over 60k miles on the car.

Says it all if your having issues with a dpf at under 60000 its likely soot and not the dpf killing ash.
