[jonesywales]

hi im new on this forum. i hope you lot can help me. i own an audi a3 2 litre 170 bhp. a couple of days a go i got an engine management light. i pluged in my obdi reader and it poped up with the fault code exhaust pressure sensor circuit high input fault codeo473. the car is an 08 plate with a diesel particulat filter(DPF). i took it to my local machanic and he said it was due to the DPF since then ive taken it on multiple regen runs but to no evail. im wondering if its worth sorting this fault or just rip the dpf out? CAN YOU PLEASE HELP

Get someone with vcds or vas to do a force regen to see if it clears up.

Replaced the sensor on my car today. i also reset the fault code and forced a regen. i took it for a good long blaast today on the motorway all the way from wrexham to anglesy and everything seems fine. thanks jessie123 for your help its greatly appriciated.
