T6.1. oil sensor

[T6jim]

Mine went to the dealer and turned out to be a fox or similar had chewed through the wiring ! They repaired the loom and it’s been fine since.

I think the same has happened to mine completely in half
How much was the repair
Thank Jim

Yes I had the same on my 18Plate van this year.
Cable underneath wore through & snapped on the chassis got it replaced / fixed by a good auto electrician in Rainham kent. £230.

Long overdue update on mine. As well as replacing the ECU ( no reason given by VW ) and the oil sensor, it turned out to be a wiring loom, which was fixed.

I’ve just discovered exactly this on mine! I don’t suppose anyone knows the part number for the replacement part of the loom? And how far it goes?

Can you see the damage?
All depends where it is Tbf

Annoyingly it’s the bit from inside the van, not the bit that goes to the sensor will probably just crimp or solder it for now..

Anyone know if there’s a fuse for this sensor? I’ve repaired the break but the fault still won’t clear.. hoping the sensor hasn’t actually failed

Check underneath if the sensor cable is broken I had the same problem last year.
Had a good Auto electrician sort from Rainham kent.

Maybe logged as a fault & needs resetting.

Yea I’ve tried that, just keeps popping back up.. thought maybe it shorted and blew a fuse when it got chopped

Got the same with my 20 plt. Vw said poss egr or software. Egr company said it was fine but sensor was reading 70mm when should be 30mm. Was intermittent, now constant. Do want to update as have a remap on it

 

[T6jim]

Check underneath to if cable has been chewed up by a fox they love VW sensor cables.

As above, check wiring harness's, that was the cause of my problem. Took VW 5 weeks to figure it out though.
