P20EE fault code rectification

[scrimshank]

Waiting to get remap still have intermittent light but stuck with vw wanting to charge 130 to check the system but I know the software is out of date and that's all I need as the software controls the amount of adblue used and amount of cleaning of exhaust s3nsors are good adblue being used but slowly and ecu checks says low adblue injection additives didn't do much in regards to adblue delivery exhaust is clean no diesel blackening is as random as it always as been I k ow that every 3 or 4 runs or on a long run the orange light will come on to keep me company trying to resist just reprogramming the ecu to ignore adblue even though its tempting
Running hard just uses more fuel the light will still come on - mines a van look alike so stuck with 50mph but most of time in the dales lucky if I can go that fast with sightseers about most days I'm out
At least it Can be reset easy enough
Oil steady no rough running had the local garage look at it a few times nothing obvious going wrong

Thanks @Bandit1201.

Have you had your adblue injectors cleaned/replaced?

I am tempted to take the van to the nearest VW dealer but worried they may decline to do anything as the van has been remapped.

Based on some advice I've had I'm tempted to get the remap deleted also. A SW upgrade/refresh would handily do both of these things so may try and find an independent willing to do this.

I'm pretty sure the vw will refuse hence I don't trust em with the £130 to look for fault reason
I'm looking for someone reliable for remap but it's not that easy local garage popped injectors and had a peek said looks OK
Local garage said he could just replace everything but doesn't think it will cure it he's convinced its in programming

Haven't thoroughly read all this thread, but
Had my 150 was pendleton mapped from new,
Eml on on the journey home (300 miles)
5 times more over following 9- 12 months.
Software update fixed it.
Revo remap after a couple of thousand light free miles , 70000 miles now without a light.
No sensors etc needed.
Definitely try a software update if not yet done

Thanks @teamfly, how did you get your software update? My local dealer will not apply it on request they want to charge me for diagnostics before doing any work...

Cheers

I was waiting for the software update to come , was part way to rejecting the van.
Think was one of the first to get it.
Never really sure what part the pendleton map played. The update wipes the remap.
The first 10 000 miles were a nightmare with the van , no issue since the update.
Even if you have to pay for it , I'd say worth it.
Good luck

Thanks again, did the dealer do the update for you as a recall or did you have to book it in for a diagnostic?

 

[teamfly]

Recall , as soon as it was available.
I was about to reject / return the van though.
Can you not find a dealer willing to update to the most up to date software given recurring light ?
I think the diagnostic fre is a pretty standard thing ?

 

[teamfly]

Failing that try the pendle map off it.
Was never sure but it may have been an issue

Software version 3771 on mine is one of the updates required to latest
If you do goto dealer let me know how you get on as I have to sit on a awaiting list for an appointment at my dealer last time I rang

No worries @Bandit1201, will do. Did the V-Power usage reduce the frequency of the Emissions light?

No stayed the same did miss a regen at switch off once where the van fan runs on but thats just coincidence i think no change otherwise pretty convinced its the software version
