Flashing coil light start/stop error P164B

[Jwhit]

So further update. Van still with VW. Oil regulator keeps faulting. They have checked everything and changed it but keeps having a fault. VW have contacted technical support for advice ….

What fault is coming up on the reeder? What model is your?

2017 150 highline. Not sure what the code is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[NickyBrown08]

Have you checked for a blocked DPF?

 

[Jwhit]

I would assume VW would maybe think of this? Hopefully. Local garage said nothing indicated dpf and VW droitwich have it now

 

[NickyBrown08]

I took mine to 4 garages before someone spotted the problem and one of them was a VW specialist.
If it’s not regenerating properly and the build up isn’t getting burned away the exhaust gasses have nowhere to go and come back in to engine.
Do you drive yours as a daily driver?

 

[Jwhit]

Yes it does still regen. Also put premium fuel in and gave it a run up motorway etc. but yeah it’s a short trip daily

 

[NickyBrown08]

Personally would be looking at the DPF if you are still getting problems. They are a massive ball ache.
Hope you get it sorted.

Yes, it does seem like a phantom fault, loads of people reporting it and i dont see anyone getting it conclusively fixed. VW specialist now saying need to get sump off and something with the oil pump. I was warned about how unreliable T6s are, learnt my lesson the hard way

Just had the oil pump changed by VW as tech services thought it was that. No change …. Wtaf
