Hey!
First post here, was mainly reading until now. Roughly two weeks back I finally got a T6 transporter (CXHA) with 150k on the clock. The van mostly stood still other than the drive back from the dealer (~120km), since I'm preparing it for the conversion. Yesterday on a short drive the engine management light came on. Looked at it with VCDS and had mainly the two errors P040D00 and P040C00, which are EGR temperature sensor 1 having a short circuit to plus and minus.
These seem to be infrequent errors, but the frequency at which they occurred (shorting to +, 26 times and shorting to - 2 times) tripped the engine light. Weirdly in the VW documents, the EGR only has 'temp. sensor 2' and 'temp. sensor 3'. Whatever I thought, probably a loose connection. Checked the wires of the sensors (sensor 2 is on top of the egr cooler and sensor 3 at the side of the egr valve), they seemed fine, so I deleted the error codes afterwards.
Went for a test drive, same errors are occurring. Short to + happened twice and short to - happened 9 times. Does this mean the temp. sensor is fried or can there also be other issues? Would really appreciate if someone can shed some light on this. What also kind of bothers me, since I'm not a mechanic, can I continue driving like this or should I seek out a shop asap?
Edit: If this should've gone into 'Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust, Drivetrain' section sorry for that, please move the post if it's the case.
cheers
