Danny, which warning light is it??

Regardless of which one it is, steam cleaning isn't gonna do jack!

If it's the actual DPF lamp, and it's a genuine DPF error, then you're potentially looking at big bucks - which makes it more of an issue. I believe i'm right in saying that it has to be manually re-generated - which in theory can clear it. However, i'm sure there is a point that if that doesn't sort it, then it needs changing. There is some good info on Seatcupra.net

I had an AX GT (don't all laugh!) that after I bought it, it became obvious that it had been involved in an accident that hadn't been properly repaired. I spoke to citizens advice, and on that occasion that advised me that I had a potentially good claim that the car wasn't fit for the purpose that it was intended (i.e the rear end was bent!!). Happened to throw this into conversation when discussing it with the garage, and all of a sudden they were happy to sort it for me.
