00816 Error Sensor G250

[Rizzy139]

Hi, other fault which I am trying to resolve is error code 816 on VAG COM, it seems to indicate a G250 sensor but I have no idea what / where this is a so wanted to try cleaning it first ?

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this fault or how I can check the sensor?

Thanks

Thanks for the response, yeah that's where I looked it mentions cleaning / replacing it but I have no idea what t looks like where it is or how to get at it lol, or how to check

Just found this it's based on a Volkswagen but understandably should be the same setup

Thinking garage/dealer job depending how skilled and confident you are lol

Lol hmm well probably worth checking sensor out first spray some contact cleaner and maybe replace it myself first depending how much it costs?
