Welcome to the forums Peter.

It seems like your DPF is clogged. It has happened to me also.
Read this thread, I think it will give you some answers! Please ask if you need to know more.

Yes, it works fine.
Washing the DPF is the least expensive method to start with, so if possible, I think you should try that.

If you don't have any other symptoms yet (than the error message), I think it's not so badly clogged, yet.
