    I believe there have been 1 or 2 people who have done it.
    Highly illegal though.

    Best bet is to wait for Greg's sports DPF.

    What about forced regen via VCDS? I'm would like to see a real example on how people perform this and what to expect. If I was to keep this car I probably best invest in the vcds cable and run force/emergency regen myself.

    Not going to remove the ash if that is the problem.
    Have a look at Greg's thread where he disected the DPF, a lot of ash came out that is not going to be removed by a regen.
