Diagnosing P026A on a NMS Passat CKRA TDI

[@elliswoods5694]

I have the same code and diagnosis. Where did you get the new sensor from? My local store dont carry and the dealer says it will take them 4 days. They wanted to charge $900 for parts and labor. No thank you.

[@JoshsJettas]

That’s crazy, IDParts or Cascade German are my go to

[@lukeyna1]

I’m guessing the diesel clean didn’t fix the coolant system permanently?

[@JoshsJettas]

The rad flush? I believe its the egr cooler cooking the coolant slowly so it will have to be flushed out more frequently then regularly.

[@BausikFilmCo]

I’m dealing with this exact issue did you make a video to describe how you flushed the core?

[@BausikFilmCo]

Also I’m not the most knowledgeable about cars what would the flush process typically cost from a mechanic?

[@JoshsJettas]

I didn’t but I just used a small funnel and slowly poured it through the map hole. Used soap and water and drained it all out the bottom. Have to wipe it clean and make sure it’s dry though.

[@BausikFilmCo]

@@JoshsJettas any estimate of what this process would cost for a mechanic to do for me?

[@JoshsJettas]

Shouldn’t be more then an hour or two of labour

[@surplussean3364]

I bet someone added domestic coolant to the European coolant. It will turn to sludge like that and clog the heater core

[@blwgaming6864]

Did the sensor have to be reprogrammed

[@JoshsJettas]

Nope just pop on and go

[@justinmiller9736]

Any way I could get the part number or name of the sensor, I cannot find it for sale anywhere online

[@JoshsJettas]

Map sensor ( also has the intake air temp sensor built in ). Idparts shows 03G906051F as the part number

[@justinmiller9736]

@@JoshsJettas thanks a lot, cheers

[@carlosgrant9376]

how was the car responding with the sensor issue?

[@JoshsJettas]

It needed injectors at the same time so it wasn’t driven hard and not sure what affected drivability more.

[@igorsarko7126]

egr introduces carbon to intake system and dpf ruins turbo

[@BigGroupHug]

Was this harder or easier than extracting a V10?

[@JoshsJettas]

This was pretty easy, gunna have to ckra swap my v10

[@CedarOutpost]

Do you have the part number for that sensor?

[@JoshsJettas]

03G 906 051E

Why is my diesel red

[@JoshsJettas]

Dyed farm diesel is red here meant for off-road equipment
