All,
If you didn't already know, my car has been off road for over a week now and it's been diagnosed with the following problem
Anyways - the sensor is also known as the 'Exhaust Pressure Sensor' and it monitors the soot levels within the DPF. As this sensor is now faulty, there is way to tell how full my DPF is and the more I drive it, I could cause it to block up and cause my car to run into further issues. Once a DPF reaches 91% it's written off as it cannot be regenerated as it could potentially catch fire and costs £1,200 to replace. Absolute ball ache yeah?
I am wondering if anyone has any experience and knows how to adapt the sensor via VCDs? I have been let down by numerous garages this week, car is sat on my parents drive and I am going away next week! Great! I need to get a new sensor myself now, fit it but before you can even start the car - you need to adapt it to the car to ensure it's reading the correct soot levels.
Cheers

Basically for all of you who don't understand it, I will explain. The 2.0 TDI 170 is fitted with a Diesel Particle Filter (DPF) and is a right pain the ass. There is a lot of issues with peoples DPF since the injectors have been replaced and therefore I got a funny feeling this sensor is something related.
