Mine too, although it never went to VW, I just instructed the garage to fit a new EGR and cooler.

Local garage is absolutely certain it's the NOx sensor that's failed. They say it's a fault they've seen lots of times before and that the replacement part is different to the original (which is a sign that VW recognised the original was not up to the job). They say that when people get the fault code recurring after the repair it's usually because they haven't updated the software to recognise the different parameters of the new sensor.
Meanwhile CamperKing are saying they don't want to authorise any work by my local dealer and would rather drive all the way down to Cornwall, lend me a different van for a week, take mine back to Banbury, repair it in their own workshop, then drive back to Cornwall again to swap them over when the work is done! Surely by the time they've paid a driver and diesel for two 400 mile round-trips they'd be better just coughing up for the local garage to do the repair?!

The faults do NOT indicate NOx sensor fault. Can you tell what software you have now - it would have been a few lines above the fault codes in the printout.
Some more:
NOx sensor and Adblue faults codes
They tried updating software, Tried? I read this the update was not done? Can you find with your tool what software you are running now? Look for strings 04L056056xx H02_xxxx What's the engine code - CXFA or CXHA? (on sticker under dash) I assume your VIN begins with WV1? Otherwise the van...

Had those, a software update sorted them
Thanks, i am guessing i need to go back to VW for the update?
Cheers
To get the update the simplest option is to visit VV.
Re the update an inside view can be extracted from "Detailed ECU info"-report (under Carista Service menu) - please post the report.
Yes, the update will be done at VW and you should also receive a voucher for 10x adblue refills.....your consumption should go up.
Hi i just called my local VW in bristol they quoted me £144 per update and said there are 10 to do.... like this is crazy, Audi do them for free and can't possibly see how they can say its going to take 10hrs..
Anyone else got updates done? some advice would be great
Thanks
Daniel
If its an update to correct a fault then pretty sure it's free......are you getting an EML and getting this code ?
They stated there is no recalls on the van so no updates needed. If i wanted to scan then its £140, then for every update £144 as they take an hour
tell you total rip agents.. never going to use the bristol VW garage. Luckily spoke to the place i got the van and stated they will update everything for 120 all in. so all good
