Dear all,
Hope to get some help/advise in here.
I am driving VW Golf 1.6TDi 77kw, mk6, 2010 and got flashing ignition coil and message of "engine failure".
This flashing only appears in the morning, when my car is completly cooled down, one minute after start this flashing disappeares.
When I pluged my diag cable in, there were one fault found P242A - malfunkction.
1 Fault Found
7355 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor; B1 S3
P242A 00 [165] - Malfunction
MIL ON - Not Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear
Freeze Frame
Fault Status: 00000001
Fault Priority: 2
Fault Frequency: 1
Mileage: 54052 km
Date: 2083.14.27
Time: 08:48:51
After deletion and recheck again there was no fault found. Even when I stop engine and start it again - nothing - all ok.
Again in the morning, flashing appears for a minute with same fault P242A.
Looks for me this is kind of failure of sensor, needed to setup some values before engine start - once engine is started, sensor is not used - during driving, there are no fault codes.
Once, when I started car in the morning and tried to drive immediately during ignition coil flashing, I get P242B fault code (engine error symbol remained on dashboard even after restart)
When I deleted fault codes, no faults found again - only next morning P242A again....and this is how it goes each morning.

Could you please help me to recognize, what could be damaged (sensor, location...etc) If I can fix it at home, or car service is needed?
Thanks for any help guys.
