Guys got these codes off of my 2010 A6 2.0 tdi. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and roughly what it would be to fix it? Any help much appreciated.

 

codes below

It's either a faulty pressure sensor on the DPF or tje DPF is clogged.

Have you tried to force a regen by driving at a constant speed for about 20mins with the revs around 2,800rpm?

If that doesn't work you need to take it to a garage for them to do a forced regen or see if the pressure sensor on the DPF is faulty.

I've heard of a few pressure sensors failing on newer VAG diesels.

Thanks for the reply Cupra

 

I haven't tried the regen thing but I will do. 

 

Any idea how much for a garage to sort if its the pressure sensors? 

 

I was thinking of getting a new car anyway this may just speed things up.

Sorry, I don't know the cost as all the ones I've heard about.were.done under.warranty.

At that mileage it probably is the sensor unless you do a lot of short journeys or town driving to clog up the DPF.

 

I do about 19 miles to work a day so kinda middle of the road type journeys. 

 

The car is just out of warranty so maybe worth seeing if they will do it as a good will gesture.

Certainly worth a try as it's a common fault, if it turns out to be that.

Just had a quick search and you would be looking at around £50 for the sensor and probably 1hr labour to diagnose and replace, so looking at £150 to fix

 

Cupra thanks very much for that.

 

Will give them a phone and see what they come up with.

Well stealers never got back with info so spoke to an independent (A 4 audi) in glasgow. The guy said almost certainly the DPF differential pressure sensor. He said about £140 for the part and the regen to clear the DPF.

Stealer wants nearer £200.

VAG Error Code: 18885

EOBD II Error Code: P2453

 

Fault Location:
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Pressure Sensor 'A' - Implausible Signal

 

Possible Cause:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)(K83) active.

Fuse(s) faulty.
Wiring/Connector(s) from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450) faulty.
Tubing from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450) restricted/clogged.
Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450) faulty.

Possible Solutions:
Check Fuse(s).
Check Wiring/Connector(s) from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450).
Check Tubing from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450).
Check/Replace Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450).
Check Part Number/Version of Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450).
Check Measuring Value Blocks (MVB).
Check Diesel Particulate Filter Ash Volume.
Check Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450) Offset Value.
Differential pressure signal < -83 hPa to > 80 hPa.

 

 

VAG Error Code: 18434

EOBD II Error Code: P2002

 

Fault Location:
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Bank 1 - Malfunction

 

Possible Cause:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)(K83) active.

Exhaust Pressure Sensor (G450) faulty.
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) faulty.

Possible Solutions:
Check/Replace Exhaust Pressure Sensor (G450).
Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).
Perform Emergency Regeneration (Refer to Specifications!).
Check/Replace Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

Special Notes:
Skoda Superb (3U) & VW Passat (3B) (Engine Codes: BGW, BSS, BWW) had issues with faulty Exhaust Pressure Sensors (G450), they were defective from factory and due to a leaking sealing the measured values were incorrect and resultet in wrong calculated particle filter load and unsuccessful regeneration cycles.

 

 

 

EOBD II Error Code: P0472

 

Fault Location:
Exhaust Gas Pressure Sensor (G450) - Low Input/Short Circuit to Earth

 

Possible Cause:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)(K83) active.

Wiring/Connector(s) short to earth.
Fuse(s).
Exhaust gas pressure sensor (G450).
Engine Control Module (ECM).

Tech Notes:
Replacing the exhaust back pressure usually takes care of the problem.

When is the code detected?:
An Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) signal that is detected out of range (high or low) by the Engine Control Module (ECM) will cause the engine to ignore the Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) signal and disable exhaust back pressure operation.

Description:
The Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) sensor is a variable capacitance sensor that, when supplied with a 5-volt reference signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM), produces a linear analog voltage signal that indicates pressure.

The Exhaust Back Pressure (EBP) sensor's primary function is to measure exhaust back pressure so that the Engine Control Module (ECM) can control the Exhaust Back Pressure Regulator (EPR) when needed.

 

 

VAG Error Code: 16855

EOBD II Error Code: P0471

 

Fault Location:
Exhaust Gas Pressure Sensor (G450) - Implausible Signal

 

Possible Cause:
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)(K83) active.

Wiring/Connector(s) from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450) faulty.
Hose from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450) faulty.
Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450) faulty.

Possible Solutions:
Check Wiring/Connector(s) from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450).
Check Hose from/to Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450).
Check/Replace Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 (G450).
The new Exhaust Pressure Sensor must be calibrated with VAG-COM\VCDS.
