Hi, a few months back my econ light came on and wont go out. i have had the gas checked and its fine. I have just ran VCDS and got the following faults..


00361- heater element for auxiliary heater (Z35)

01592-air quality sensor(g238)

00483- Control Module for auxiliary air heater

00819- High pressure sensor (g65)


I know the g65 causes issues but what about the other items? i bought a new module that somehow looks identical and is from an 8p yet is 8mm wider so it does not fit. on that module the g238 fault only appears. Any ideas?
 
I had the same problem, with the econ light always on. I didn't scan the car.
But I changed the g65 sensor and that seemed to cure the problem and the econ light went off.
 
Yeah i thought the same, would it be causing these other faults do you know?

Hmm, not sure.

Personally I'd fit a new G65 Sensor, clear all faults in memory.

Give it a couple of days/journeys and see if anything re appears.
 
I also had the ECON light stuck for maybe half a year. When the summer came, i got into a ac garage. I had the car regassed. But still the econ light was on. They plugged in vagcom and it said that i had a g65 sensor failure. I then bought the pressure sensor from ebay for about £25. After a week, it arrived, then easily pulled out the old g65 and installing the new. Took me about 2 min doing that. I then tested this right away. The ECON is still stuck. Went back the the garage, and they diagnosed the car. The g65 was fine, and didnt have any pressure sensor fault code. But got a new fault, I then had a g238 failure. Bought a new one, plugged the new one in. But still ECON stuck. I am going to the garage on monday, and have the fault code remove. Hopefully it will work
