@Ripley55 hi mate, my battery has died a few times and never had the engine light come on, mine has been on ever since I overfilled the adblue last time though lol

Ahh @gazza31112
Strange coincidence, as 3 weeks ago I filled up with Adblue as well, and may have put a drop too much in as well, but didn’t notice a light afterwards, and obviously haven’t been anywhere, can it just be cleared on ignition, or is it VCDS scan and reset ?

I tried to clear mine but it just comes back, apparently from what I have read the sensor needs recalibrating, you can only refill the amount it says on the dash, I just filled until it overflowed, which apparently confuses the sensor.
Not certain of this, it's just what Iv read.

I haven't bothered to get it checked as my warranty has just run out lol, Iv got a fault code of failure to read NOX sensor b, I assume that's something to do with adblue, but still runs fine.

And my light came on 2 days after I filled with adblue, not straight away

That’s it then ? Is it a code it mod, or will it reset automatically once level drops ?

Mine hasn't reset, I'm now down to 3000 miles remaining on adblue, and it's still on.
I assume it has to be done by VW.

[mention]Ripley55 [/mention] The sensor may need replacing or resetting/ recalibrated. From what I’ve heard if you delete the fault code it just comes back. If it’s to do with the NOx sensor that is.

Finished the wiring in the back for the LED’s, just need to wire up the switch panel when it arrives.
Started painting a couple of trims to match the headlining, looking good to me.
Will start taking the rest off and paint the bigger bits then I can get it all back together.

Replaced rubber fuel hoses badly perished, loads of grief removing the 6 torx bolts on the fuel filter housing and snapped the push in fittings on the breather pipe . Had a look at the state of the whole exhaust system which has excessive patina. Lots to be getting on with.

Attempted to wet sand and polish my other mirror cap, After doing one last week, and it turned out lovely👍
This one, not so much!
I blame the bright sunshine out on the deck, but I cut through the lacquer in a couple of places, so have had to rub it down and paint again :roll:

Oh well, you live and learn!

I have reupholstered the kick panels in the Bay window bus though! Id been meaning to get rid of the rubbish White vinyl for ages, and used some left over carpet from the caddy :lol:

@sheepy92.
I bought them of the guy that makes the caddy cup holders.
He sells them on here.
I’ve been trying to find his for sale thread but I can’t find it at the moment.
