Things will be a lot clear once you have the VCDS scan
Hi Loz, firstly many thanks for your replies, I don't post often but I enjoy the site. So, this morning I had the time to connect the VCDS, It has shown the following, 16056-oil pressure switch P164B 00 (104) Malfunction-intermittent-confirmed- tested since memory clear
33262 - Reductant system performance bank 1 -P204F-00 (096). Malfunction-intermittent-not confirmed tested since memory clear
31103 SCR NOx Catalyst bank 1. P20EE (104) efficiency too low -intermittent- tested since memory clear
I thought I'd put the whole thing on there , I had the van into my local garage for an interim service last Friday, they did kind of treat me with a little indifference by saying that with the codes I should just go to Volkswagen to sort it....Or maybe I should find someone who actually cares ? Maybe that's just me being grumpy...lol. The glow plug light which was intermittent has been off for the last 5 days of driving, the engine management light is still on. Not sure if mentioning that makes any difference. Is it too simple to say just replace the oil pressure switch ? Plus as the NOx sensor was renewed not that long ago is there a plausible reason that's showing up ? Having delved around the forum I came across a post regarding the NOx and it seemed to end up being about the Ad blue level and not the sensor itself.
Lastly should I now be delving deeper into the vcds and finding out anything else ?
