Broken again

[Jer1978]

So On route to Eastbourne the engine management light has come on along with the coil light , Carista says fuel temp sensor problem and a battery problem also any ideas ? Sick and tired of this bloody van now
2018 t6 204 manual
Cheers for any hints and tips

 

[Dellmassive]

take a pic of the codes, then clear them and see if the come back.?

post the actual codes so we can look further.

not come across a "fuel temp sensor" error code before.

Battery could be a million things, need to see specific code for more detail.

 

[Jer1978]

I reset and they kept coming back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[Jer1978]

15898 was one of the codes
Po183 was the other

 

[Dellmassive]

got a screen shot?

 

[Dellmassive]

repeat of this that @Loz was helping out with?

Fault code 15898 [Resolved] Fuel Temp Sensor wiring

Went to go to work this morning and the glow plug light is flashing and the engine management light is on. The van has gone into limp mode so I’ve parked it back on the drive - any ideas ? Also suggestions of somewhere in the Glos area to take it please Thanks By the way it’s a 204 2018 plate...

Another fault sadly , must have a real lemon of a van , not sure I’ll get another Vw after this

 

[Loz]

15898 is the same as last time must be that plug again, I’ve got some spares now.

 

[Jer1978]

You think? I’ll try and have a look in the morning , didn’t fancy standing on the side of the m25 lol

 

[Jer1978]

 

[Loz]

Yea, that's it, you popping down later

 

[Jer1978]

If I make it back ! I’m in Eastbourne ! Lol

 

[Jer1978]

Sat nav is saying 4pm home , is that too late ?

 

[Loz]

that's fine

 

[Loz]

wire was broken again right at the connector, removed pins and resoldered. We have also added extra fabric loom tape right up to the plug to stop the wire vibrating so much.

I wish I lived round the corner from @Loz, wouldn’t need an extended warranty

Solder penetrates the multi core and makes it rigid instead of flexible.
I prefer to solder but both ends of the soldered piece last longer if secured to a non moving object.

The man is defo in the wrong job, thanks a million loz !

I agree, but had to reuse the receptacles so soldering was the only option at the moment. After the last time I purchased new plugs but they don’t come with pins etc. If I could buy a selection box of the various pins I would have them in stock.

Is anyone able to let me know where to locate the fuel temp sensor in the engine bay. I have the same fault code and suspect broken wires etc but don't know where the sensor is.
Thanks
