Pressure differential sensor (g450/g505) DPF error

[khacel15]

Hi. Anywho know where is Pressure differential sensor? In most VW cars that sensor is on view. I can't find this in t6 2.0 tdi 150 bluemotion.

From the description they will be one at each end of the DPF that measures how clogged the DPF is.

I know how it works. I asked where the sensor is.

 

[Loz]

I said, Each end of the DPF you do know what the dpf looks like?

Your going to go far on here...

 

[khacel15]

I know what dpf looks like. I thought it was possible to access from the top.

I know how it works. I asked where the sensor is.

As @Loz has advised, check both ends of the DPF, starting with the exhaust side. Crossed in the ether Loz, sorry.

 

[khacel15]

thanks for help. I will write after the replacement of the sensor

 

[Loz]

I'll take a look at the manual when I get to my desk, you get clues to access from what the manual says to do first..

 

[Loz]

A quick look at the schematic shows it as a sensor with 2 pipes coming into it, so will be remote, there are a stack of these on top of the engine.

Its under the air charge cooler,

I’m no car mechanic but I’m pretty handy. Is the differential pressure sensor difficult to replace? My symbol has been on for a while now and it’s starting to annoy me... it started intermittent and now has a permanent place near the Rev counter.

Is your van still under warranty, as the 2 Charge cooler hoses are supposed to be replaced if they are removed and the red one is £160.
Not too difficult to change, but it has to be "Adapted" after fitting and then you will need to do a forced regeneration.
