Emissions light and P261A code

[M16badboys]

Hi all...
I drive a ibiza 1.2 TDI 2012. The emission light has come on in the past two weeks. Connected OBD and got p261a. Turned off light but it came back on after about 20km. Car is driving fine no difference.
Should I be worried or could it be a faulty sensor?
Any advice welcome.
Thanks ?

It's a simple thing to google. P261A is an "open circuit" problem with the auxiliary coolant pump, this is an electronic pump that runs after shutting down a hot engine. Usually either a faulty pump, or a wiring problem to it.

Thanks so much for your help.
Do you think it will be an expense repair?
Is it ok to keep driving for the next few days or should I book it in straight away?
Thanks again ?

No idea on cost I'm afraid. I don't think driving for a few days will matter though.
