Hello all,
I drive a 2006 T5 Transporter (7H) Van/Camper. its an AXD PD 130hp /96kw engine with 4motion drive train. After getting over having to remove the engine the remove the water pump debackle (see what i went through here) things have been going well until recently i have been getting an intermittent coil light coming on the dash and loss of power. (see video below)
this all stated very harmlessly and happened once in a blue moon. so thought id let it develop before spending too much time looking in to it. noy it got to the point were i was almost stranded on the road side unable to get it to go. so i did a diagnostic session and got these results....
I cleared all the codes but "00562 - Sensor for Oil Level/Temperature (G266) 30-00 - Open or Short to Plus" keeps returning. when putting the keys in the ignition i am getting the yellow oil can light flashing (oil level is fine on the stick) So it was a bank holiday weekend and i got a new oil sensor in the scrap yard. This made a vast improvement but still get the odd knock with a flash of the coil light on the dash. I also ordered a new sensor on eBay the same weekend so to rule it out i changed that sensor again last night clear all the faults and put the key in the ignition and still have the yellow oil can light flashing when the dash lights come on.
SO! my question what else am i missing? could there be another sensor i am not aware of? Im wondering did these sensors get damaged when the coolant mixed with the oil when the water pump seized. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
