I'll keep it short.

VwT6 - 2016
108,000
CAAB engine.

Cambelt and waterpump done this week. Zero faults or issues on vcds or otherwise until today in the entire time I've had the van.
Passed every MOT its had.
Great van.
Daily driver.

Errors taken from calista OB2 (note...same on VCDS also when checked....so well done little Calista)

ISSUES WITH VAN SINCE CHANGE.
1) pigs tails intermittent flashing under load /accelerating when at full 90 degrees running temp.

2) Stop/Start option is erroring....interestingly it works up until operating temp...then errors.

THINGS THAT ARENT HAPPENNING.
1) Rough idle
2) Issues starting (1st time everytime off key... no issues)
3) no loss of performance
4) no limp mode
5) no dodgy sounds.

My thoughts..

1) sensor error at operating temp due to sensor being disturbed during install /damaged.
2) damaged sensor is telling ECU that there's 'something wrong' in engine and therefore disabling stop/start mode
3) cambelt not fitted right... it doesn't look loose
