Get it scanned and fixed. Could be detrimental to the DPF.
No point guessing.
2007 model.....DPF????
check your brake lights are working.
If not, replace/repair brake switch.
Known problem
Get a fault scan mate. Without that it could be anything.
Could you please provide contact details to 0418 798 797.
Thats what it was on mineQuote:

This is not something new, exactly the same on my '01 T4. VW just use the glow plug light for multiple uses.Quote:
