after having this come on every other month when I had a PD im going to bet 20 gold stars on it being a faulty lambda sensor, dont worry about it, it will go off when it feels like it or cost ya about £50 to fix at a stealers, for about 6 months.

Got the fault read. Code 01137
Exhaust Pressure Sensor 1 - Implossible Signal PO471 Short with Power, Intermittent.

Does anyone have an idea on a fix? Or has anyone had a similar fault?

My mate cleared it, ive now been on a good drive, with abit heavy right foot driving thrown in, and no sign of the light.

If the light stays off i'm going to assume it was only an intermittent fault that has now cleared - If the light returns then its obviously its an ongoing issue that will need resolved.

So right now i have my fingers crossed the light stays off and all is well - Optimist that i am! Haha.

lambda sensor, i'll be collecting my own bet back then :)

No you wont, thats the DPF differential pressure sensor not lambda sensor, you will need a new one fitting and adapting to the car, seen many a blocked DPF from these sensors being faulty, alot of the time they don't show a fault either its only by testing them you can be sure.

op - I can test, replace and regenerate if your local?

So would you recommend changing it to be safe even though the light is now out? Unfortunetely i live between Scotland and Oxford so not local to you mate or that would have been great. Is it normally an expence to have done?

Also, it was stated earlier in this thread that there are two sensors on this car, which would should be changed? I believe there is one top left of the engine bay, is this the normal culprit?

Thanks again for all the help.

My wife's car had the same fault code recently, and light on the dash. Could clear it but it would return after a couple of outings.

Replaced the exhaust pressure sensor myself, as mentioned, and fault code + light have not returned.

Relatively cheap and easy fix, only qualifier is that the fault code can cover a multitude of issues - but this part is the most common. My worry about leaving it is that it may end up causing you DPF issues prematurely. Not worth leaving.

I concede defeat im thinking of an oxygen pressure sensor. Either way to the op, just rip your dpf off, that way you won't worry about either and its not like your under warranty anymore

Not necessarily, you still need the sensors to be working even with a dpf delete. One of my sensors packed up after my delete and I had to have that replaced.

In an ideal world you want it testing and DPF ash level checking too etc and it needs adapting to the car when fitted. As your looking into the engine bay its on the left towards the back. IIRC the part is about £60 give or take so add labour onto that. Ignore the 2 sensors thing, your car has loads of different sensors!

I'm looking to have this replaced my my mates garage, instead of a Stealer - What exactly is involved in adapting it to the car?

On a side note, my car is booked in for its recall injector change this Wednesday, so for ease i may just get the Stealer to do the sensor aswell - What kinda cost should i expect from a Stealer to replace this?

Thanks.

Decided to 'bite the bullet' and get my Differential Pressure Sensor (Part No - 076 906 051a) changed at my local Stealer. Cost inc Sensor & Labour = £142.42

As it needs adaprting to the car I thought best play it safe and get my local Stealer to carry out the job - Grudged paying so much as quite a simple thing to change but I have no way of adapting the sensor. Anyways, money well spent if that dreaded EML stays off.

Downside however, Stealer decided to give my car a 'complimentary' wash whilst it was in - Needless to say i spent the best part of a day polishing all the little scuff marks off the paintwork. Cheers chaps!!
