Description of the problem	I bought this car new in sept. 2013 for its fuel mileage, also because of the efficiency of the tdi. Now at 50,000 mis., i have a check engine light on and a code of p047f, which means i have a diesel particulate filter clogged and it has to be replaced. This is a $1000. 00 part. Luckily, my car is covered by the carb warranty of ca. But this should not happen this fast. I have done all recommended services at the proper intervals with vw approved fluids and filters. Because my car was past the 3yr/36k warranty, but has a 8yr/80k powertrain warranty, i called vw to see if this is covered. The first call, they told me no. I then started checking tdi forums for this issue and found that it was a common problem. I then called back to "push the issue" which was when i found out that i was covered under the carb warranty. How many people call the first time and get the same answer as i did, then have to pay $1000. 00 plus labor to fix this? Also, what good is the tdi if it costs this much to maintain?
