Adam you are a top man for posting this video. My 2015 BiTurbo had this fault at 20,000 miles and was fixed under warranty. Its happened again at 45,000 miles. My fault is exactly what you describe, and I have whipped off tge sensor, shoved a long piece of wire down the pipe and pulled out loads of black crud. I also pushed a bicycle brake cable down it aswell. I reconnected it all and went for a blast. Initially, the error was still there, but after a few miles it cleared. Doing videos like this is what helps others with similar problems, so well done. Cheers.
Oh man.... Thanks for the detailed steps. I've got the same issue at only 43k. They said that is the EGR and all together will be around £1k to fix. I'll check this sensor today.
This is what's good when it comes to CZcams. Thanks for taking your time to put the video up, I even got a great tip about using a bikes brake cable to get the stubborn blockages clear from the pipe. Many thanks.
Hi mate, Great video, I removed mine today but the sensor was surpisingly clean & intact & hardly any gunk came out the hose, I ordered a new sensor last night & will fit anyway to see if my warnings go away, keep up the good work.
Thanks for the video! It saved me from a trip to the garage. I had the same errors, but luckily enough my sensor whas still good. I cleaned out the pipes and replaced the little rubber hose and now it runs perfect.
Great video. Thanks for putting it out. My blockage was further down the pipe. Beyond my skills to replace the pipe. Persevered with brake cable in a drill. Found that running drill at high speed cleared it. Took a while though. Pipe appears to be about 9-10” in length so that’s how far you need to be able to get a cable in.
I’ve had this exact problem for over 18 months, countless garages and different solutions to which none have worked. I’ll be trying this first thing tomorrow morning. 🙏
Same problem with my 2016 Renault Trafic on 42000 miles. I had Check Injection System , Check Cruise Control, Check Anti Pollution System and code 0470, Exhaust Pressure Sensor A Circuit on my £14 Ebay code reader. I was a bit doubtful about this fix so went the cheapo route of buying an £11 Chinese copy of the sensor off Ebay. Surprise surprise! Code and warning messages all gone! Absolutely delighted. Keep on making the 'boring ' videos. Many thanks for going to the trouble of posting this.
I’ve had three of these vans, two of them have said the same thing, they seem to be a common fault, thanks for sharing this as the Vauxhall garage I went to in Chislehurst was changing all different parts, telling me that it’s because someone is using cheap adblue (they didn’t have a clue). It was an expense to the company I worked for at the time but now I I have my own van so will give this a try 👍🏽
Top man The pipe was blocked solid,used a small drill bit to start with then a length of wire to clean,no parts needed and warning lights all off many thanks💯👍
Fab, just took my sensor off and the bottom bit that sits in the rubber hose had corroded into a mush and blocked the rubber joint hose & top of the metal pipe.... new sensor from eBay and carb cleaner down the metal pipe, and used a cable from a bike brake inner to clean the inside bore.... put back together replaced original clips with stainless jubilee ones 12mm - 9.5mm got rid of fault after clearing codes - took it for a 10-mile blast to regen, which can now happen as orange engine light has gone... sorted!!! cheers Adam :)
I had the same messages on the dash. Local garages wouldn’t touch it. Main dealer wanted £100 to diagnose the problem. I gave them the DTC codes but they wouldn’t give out the information 😡 I bought the sensor as recommended here and cleaned the pipe, which was blocked and the check messages have gone. Brilliant! Thanks for the video. Saved me £400
The same problem in my case sensor replaced but still same issue on the end after this video I've cleaned the tube and looks like it's OK now thanks buddy very helpful video 😃
Awesome mate. Common recurring problem. The trouble is, most garages haven't a clue and will try to diagnose by replacing various different parts. I've heard of bills over £1k!
You’re a legend mate. I had the same issue at 45k. Put it in for warranty work in and it seemed fine until 75k. Lights came on etc. Just did the fix you did and it’s now back to normal with no dash lights. I hope you read this so you can accept my thank you!!
@@jimmydraper9209 probably too late now but I actually used a flat head screw drive to unclip it. However, didn’t have the correct tool to re fit it so bought a new hose and hose clipped it. Hope that helps. PS, fix is still going strong with nothing else coming up. What a result
Thanks mate, I had the same fault yesterday, I just took it off, cleaned it and sprayed carb cleaner down the pipe and it fault went off. I may have to re visit but at least I know where to look. Thanks Dai
Thanks Adam the pipe was totally blocked on my vivaro van the pipe was too long and bendy for a drill but used a piece of pushbike cable with end slightly splayed attached to a drill and carb cleaner to clear carbon worked a treat. Now waiting for new sensor so fingers crossed has done the trick. Thanks for your advice
Good man, I managed to sort the same issue with your advice. The garage couldn’t sort it after 3 days. The clips were a nightmare to get off but apart from that it was straight forward fix. Very much appreciated mate, thanks

Great post...dealer replaced sensor and pipe 18 months ago under warranty...failed again this week... I removed the sensor and cleaned out the pipe with a bicycle brake cable....works a treat...I have replaced the hose clips with spring hose clips to speed up the process as this seems to be a common fault as I have only done 14k miles since the last repair.
Update....blocked again.... couldn't clear it with the bicycle brake cable so added a length of tube to the metal pipe and filled it with DPF cleaner...left it to soak over night then attached the brake cable to a cordless drill and slowly drilled through the soot ... emptied a load of DPF cleaner down the pipe and it's cured again...what a crap design .

@@dalemoore11 mine was clogged with soot right near where the pipe is mounted to the manifold. It's way after the little rubber pipe. Whem I ran the engine with no sensor there wasn't even any smoke coming out. I took the whole pipe out (a real bugger to get to, and mine is a dci130 single turbo, not the twin like you) and cleaned it. I then had to erase the fault with diagnosis tool or the fault would stay.
@@gunnermike76 sounds like mine is clogged further down 2 mate, where does the pipe go to? Not sure where I can buy 2nd hand pipe and get garage to fit.
@@gunnermike76 just looking on amazon 3mmx400mm aluminium wire, do you think that could go down pipe bend and move the shit down with some brake cleaner?
Renualt Trafic 2016 sport crew 75k on clock. So, I tried a cheap sensor of Amazon (£25ish) and cleaned the pipe with a bike brake cable and rev the balls of it. Nothing really came out. Warning lights where intermittent for a month or so, then stayed on permanently. Took it to a Renualt specialist back street garage who agreed after speaking to someone at main dealer that pipe and sensor needed replacing. But he didn’t want to do it as it was ‘a pig of a job’ to get to and remove the pipe. In the end, I had to bite the bullet and take it to main stealer! Part number Sensor £142 Pipe £103 Total was £321 plus VAT Took half a day to do. (Along with some other work I had done) So far, 1 week later, no lights returning. Thanks again for the video, I guess I was unlucky but I thought I’d share my story just in case it helps someone.
Thanks for telling us that... i guess sometimes the pipe might be a little to blocked... my light has started flashing again so I'm guessing mine might need some more work very soon!
I change the sense and then got it regenerated and then it worked perfectly and it was coming up check injections and stop start and anit pollution filler 67 reg vauxhall vivaro 1.6 eco bio 45000 miles
Thanks a lot for this upload. Same problem with my Vivaro, though it has only done 20k miles ! The block was so bad i had to use a flexible drill bit adapter and drill out the blockage, absolute nightmare getting it all out. I wonder why this happens and can only assume it is going to get blocked up again. Might be worth while taking the pipe off at service intervals and give it a quick clean to keep it clear. Thanks again.
Hi Glad my little video is of help to you. That is a very good point. I'm not to sure why they block up or how easy it is to even take the pipe off. Main dealers quotes quite a bit to fit the new one
@@adamcooper7677 Yeah the pipe connects to the exhaust manifold, would leave that where it is and just take the rubber pipe at the top off and give it a quick clean with a small pipe brush. I guess if the block was bad enough the whole thing would need to come out. Hope this never happens.
Came here after i have been told its injector fault ! Surprisingly it was the anti pollution system . I lost trust in all the garages.. thank you for posting this Adam .
another good clue to our fault on our van. the check anti-pollution system failure and a check engine light. the car does go short runs often so it can also be a blocked dpf(atleast i think so, but hey im just a carpenter :D).
Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for your video, I stumbled across it while searching for the same fault codes. Removed sensor from my Trafic 3 which has only done 22000 miles and it looked exactly like yours! After ordering one off eBay and cleaning the pipes/changing sensor all fault codes cleared and everything back to normal, if anyone else has problems cleaning the pipe that goes down to the exhaust manifold I found an old bicycle brake cable was perfect, after clearing around 30mm of hard carbon with a drill bit I found it went soft and gooey and the brake cable removed to gooey stuff right down to the exhaust. Thanks again fella! Saved me more than a few bob! I owe you a pint 👍🍺
@@gavalarbellz5019 hi Gavalar, yes any crap will blow into the exhaust, there is still some pressure there but you should be able to blow at least some air into it, the carbon deposits do go very hard and take some clearing, just keep spinning a wire brake cable in there and removing it often to give it a clean, you’ll get there eventually 👍 since I did mine I’ve used 6in1 diesel additive with every fill and tried to avoid supermarket fuel, not had any problems since 👍
Just had the same problem today with Renault Trafic 2018 (33,000 miles). I'm going to have a look at the sensor tomorrow, hopefully it's the same easy fix.
renault trafic 2.0 115 2012 i had the same problems, emission fault and eventually check injectors, it would cut out at 2500 rpm and struggle up even gentle inclines, i simply took it for a 10 mile run on dual carriageway, normal revs not revving the tits of it, and eventually it cleared, just lucky i guess. Thanks for the vid, i was getting geared up for this repair and just thought i would try the easy way out.
Hi Adam, I finally got round to changing the sensor. Unfortunately my messages are still on my dashboard. The pipe doesn't appear to be blocked, I managed to push a copper wire down through about 4 inches or so. Do I need to reset anything?
@@jamieking4956 Hi Jamie. I personally never had to reset anything but if the sensor is faulty clearing the problem won't sort it you will likely need a new sensor to. Thanks. Adam
Mine was a faulty EGR. Replaced under warranty then the EGR cooler went shortly after it. The tell tale sign of the EGR cooler failing is a whoosing sound under acceleration, like the boy racer cars dump valve. It is a real expensive job.
i have the renault version of this van, and its at renault to see if they can find the fault, under warranty, when mine did that the revs died with the engine nearly cutting out, with no power in the engine, then when i turned it off and on it ran as normal, mine has only done 26k miles, i am hoping they sort it this time, good to see the possible cause though.
I did mine.. it’s a piece of piss.. I used a brake cable on the end of a drill to clean my pipe out.. didn’t need to change the sensor either. Only cost £4 for the brake cable 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Hi just wondering, how is this fix holding? Any further warning messages or did this completely fix it? Many thanks for this video, Ive not done much van or car fixing in the past, but Im going to try this I think.
@@adamcooper7677 Done the pipe clean out today and it was full of black gunk. I didn't change the sensor just clean and reset malfunction light, so far so good. Thanks for putting this up.
Now its been a while since you changed the sensor, has the fault been cured? Having the same issues, there appear to be a few remedies out there, was wondering if this worked aswell as you hoped? Thanks
Thanks for your video,had this problem twice now but been to garage to get it solved ,over £100 each time ,but it's a big but !,how do you no when the engine is regenerating ?
Does the exhaust sensor connect to the dpf? I have a dpf cleaner that you pump through tubes but don’t know which sensor to take off 😂 thanks man good video 🤙🏼
Hey man nice video ....I'm into this right now .....how did you remove the exhauste pressure sensor? My one does not have a clip do I need to twist? Many thanks in advance
Hi Adam having similar problem with my van the pipe you cleared with drill bit should i be able to blow down it? Isit open the other end? I tryed put a small pipe over top off it an blow down it but wasnt able to blow down it was to hard. Is there valve other end or something?
How do you actually take off the valve from the bracket. I've tried with adjustable spanner but don't want to break anything. There is slight play on the bracket, not sure if you just knock it out. Thanks
Hi adam very informative video and simple to understand, I've got same lights coming on ,will that sensor do for a 19 plate vivaro? Thanks for posting 👏
Hi adam what was the van running like? I have a similar problem with check injectors message with spanner light that pops up. I had someone look at it they are saying it could be the turbos?
I'm having an issue just now with the same fault codes and the garage cant find a cause did you have any loss of power with the fault or just the warning?
Hi I have a 2015 Vivaro and it’s just come up on the dash , “ check injection system “ would this be the same sort of thing I’d be looking for , although it’s not BiTurbo ? Cheers Dean
Hi Adam was the symptoms loss of power on slight hill incline, and then all of a sudden you get power back some times more than you expected, because that's happing to my 16 plate bi turbo vivaro 140 brake horse only just started to go like this a few months ago 140.000 on the clock it's doing my head in lol
Well done Adam! Did you have a link to eBay For me to buy a sensor. Couldn't see it. I have a Renault Trafic 2016 , with all the lockdowns and short journeys, it was suggested that the sensor fault was coming up. Especially if I used supermarket diesel Eventually getting a long run, 100miles. It cleared. Just last week, I changed the pollen filter The spanner and engine light came on with check filter, or injector's. Weird. Removed new filter, and put back in thinking I had installed it incorrectly. Lights still on. Look forwards to hearing from you. Regards 🐼🐼🏴🏴
Hey man, the part arrived.... I couldn't unclip the multiclip or get it out of the small pipe? it seems to be the other way around on a traffic... any advice?
Hi Adam, thanks for the video, how did you get the little black pipe off the other end from the sensor? And is it ok to turn the van on without the sensor connected to see if it is clogged up or not?
Yes running it without the sensor in the pipe will tell if it's still blocked or not. You should be feeling the exhaust through it which is normal. If not it's still blocked.
I have same problem on my 2018 vauxhall vivaro diagnos come up with cylinder 3 injector control circuit-open been advice to change the injector should I change it or try this first any suggestion please
Great Video, Same problem on my 15 plate Bi Turbo. Will have a go at doing this myself. Does anyone know where I could order some spare rubber pipe so that I can replace that too please?

No problem at all. It definitely appears a common problem
It's hard to take the pipe out it's fitted to the manifold need to dismantle few things from the bottom to get eccess to the pipe

I took the whole pipe out (a real bugger to get to, and mine is a dci130 single turbo, not the twin like you) and cleaned it. I then had to erase the fault with diagnosis tool or the fault would stay.
@@gunnermike76 sounds like mine is clogged further down 2 mate, where does the pipe go to? Not sure where I can buy 2nd hand pipe and get garage to fit.
@@gunnermike76 just looking on amazon 3mmx400mm aluminium wire, do you think that could go down pipe bend and move the shit down with some brake cleaner?
Thanks for this saved me a fortune
Adam your a life saver thank you very much dude 👍😉😁
Excellent thank you for your video
Renualt Trafic 2016 sport crew 75k on clock.
So, I tried a cheap sensor of Amazon (£25ish) and cleaned the pipe with a bike brake cable and rev the balls of it. Nothing really came out. Warning lights where intermittent for a month or so, then stayed on permanently.
Took it to a Renualt specialist back street garage who agreed after speaking to someone at main dealer that pipe and sensor needed replacing. But he didn’t want to do it as it was ‘a pig of a job’ to get to and remove the pipe.
In the end, I had to bite the bullet and take it to main stealer!
Part number Sensor £142
Pipe £103
Total was £321 plus VAT
Took half a day to do. (Along with some other work I had done)
So far, 1 week later, no lights returning.
Thanks again for the video, I guess I was unlucky but I thought I’d share my story just in case it helps someone.
Thanks for telling us that... i guess sometimes the pipe might be a little to blocked... my light has started flashing again so I'm guessing mine might need some more work very soon!
@@adamcooper7677 makes you wonder if in another 50k we’ll be back in the same situation!
Definitely giving this a go mate, thanks
I change the sense and then got it regenerated and then it worked perfectly and it was coming up check injections and stop start and anit pollution filler 67 reg vauxhall vivaro 1.6 eco bio 45000 miles
Thanks a lot for this upload. Same problem with my Vivaro, though it has only done 20k miles ! The block was so bad i had to use a flexible drill bit adapter and drill out the blockage, absolute nightmare getting it all out. I wonder why this happens and can only assume it is going to get blocked up again. Might be worth while taking the pipe off at service intervals and give it a quick clean to keep it clear. Thanks again.
Hi Glad my little video is of help to you. That is a very good point. I'm not to sure why they block up or how easy it is to even take the pipe off. Main dealers quotes quite a bit to fit the new one
@@adamcooper7677 Yeah the pipe connects to the exhaust manifold, would leave that where it is and just take the rubber pipe at the top off and give it a quick clean with a small pipe brush. I guess if the block was bad enough the whole thing would need to come out. Hope this never happens.
Nice one, thanks for that 👍👍
Cheers for the information, I have a 2014 vivaro and I've just had the same faults come up on the dash. I'll let you know how I get on cheers again
Thanks. Be good to know if it works for you
cheers Adam, i just had the same problem, my neighbour gave me a bike brake cable to clear out the pipe.
No problem at all. Did it fix the problem? Thanks.
Adam
@@adamcooper7677 ATM, it seems so only did it today
i didn't change the sensor, just cleared the blockage
@@gregcase1815 ohh good. Lets hope that has done the job then!
Thanks for the video and explanation
Came here after i have been told its injector fault ! Surprisingly it was the anti pollution system . I lost trust in all the garages.. thank you for posting this Adam .
Hi. No problem at all. Always good to help others... i know how frustrating it can be!
thanks keep posting
another good clue to our fault on our van. the check anti-pollution system failure and a check engine light. the car does go short runs often so it can also be a blocked dpf(atleast i think so, but hey im just a carpenter :D).
Just wanted to drop in and say thank you for your video, I stumbled across it while searching for the same fault codes. Removed sensor from my Trafic 3 which has only done 22000 miles and it looked exactly like yours! After ordering one off eBay and cleaning the pipes/changing sensor all fault codes cleared and everything back to normal, if anyone else has problems cleaning the pipe that goes down to the exhaust manifold I found an old bicycle brake cable was perfect, after clearing around 30mm of hard carbon with a drill bit I found it went soft and gooey and the brake cable removed to gooey stuff right down to the exhaust. Thanks again fella! Saved me more than a few bob! I owe you a pint 👍🍺
My pleasure. Really glad this has helped you.
Very satisfying when it all comes together 😀
Invoice will be in the post 😂
Hi jason if you blow down this pipe would it blow clear in to exhaust ? And what sort pressure comes out of it? Think mines blocked
Solid
@@gavalarbellz5019 hi Gavalar, yes any crap will blow into the exhaust, there is still some pressure there but you should be able to blow at least some air into it, the carbon deposits do go very hard and take some clearing, just keep spinning a wire brake cable in there and removing it often to give it a clean, you’ll get there eventually 👍 since I did mine I’ve used 6in1 diesel additive with every fill and tried to avoid supermarket fuel, not had any problems since 👍
How far down isit to the exhaust rougly so ino if the cable going far enough gna try this tomro morning
Just had the same problem today with Renault Trafic 2018 (33,000 miles). I'm going to have a look at the sensor tomorrow, hopefully it's the same easy fix.
Hopefully. Let us know how you get on 👍
removed the sensor, cleaned it, (black dirt came off from inside ) but it's the same. I ordered a new one from eBay.
renault trafic 2.0 115 2012 i had the same problems, emission fault and eventually check injectors, it would cut out at 2500 rpm and struggle up even gentle inclines, i simply took it for a 10 mile run on dual carriageway, normal revs not revving the tits of it, and eventually it cleared, just lucky i guess.
Thanks for the vid, i was getting geared up for this repair and just thought i would try the easy way out.
same problem back again 8 mths later, time for spanners
Nice vid you can poke bowden cable down the pipe to unblock it
Running 2 vivaro nothing but trouble money pits on going with seized injectors at moment living the dream honest good vid though m8
I feel your pain. Had new gearboxes.. new injectors you name it!
Not on this van.. my old vivaro and trafic
Thanks Adam!
I have the same message, thanks for sharing this I'm going to give it a go.
No problem. If i can be of help let me know.
Let me know if it fixes it 😆
Hi Adam,
I finally got round to changing the sensor. Unfortunately my messages are still on my dashboard. The pipe doesn't appear to be blocked, I managed to push a copper wire down through about 4 inches or so. Do I need to reset anything?
@@jamieking4956 Hi Jamie.
I personally never had to reset anything but if the sensor is faulty clearing the problem won't sort it you will likely need a new sensor to.
Thanks.
Adam
@@jamieking4956 Did you sort it??
Mine was a faulty EGR. Replaced under warranty then the EGR cooler went shortly after it. The tell tale sign of the EGR cooler failing is a whoosing sound under acceleration, like the boy racer cars dump valve. It is a real expensive job.
i have the renault version of this van, and its at renault to see if they can find the fault, under warranty, when mine did that the revs died with the engine nearly cutting out, with no power in the engine, then when i turned it off and on it ran as normal, mine has only done 26k miles, i am hoping they sort it this time, good to see the possible cause though.
I did mine.. it’s a piece of piss.. I used a brake cable on the end of a drill to clean my pipe out.. didn’t need to change the sensor either. Only cost £4 for the brake cable 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
i have same issue with check lights. i just ordered the new sensor. I will replaced tomorrow. hopefully it will be fixed. fingers cross
Hi alin did it sort it ?
brilliant stuff thank you
Hi just wondering, how is this fix holding? Any further warning messages or did this completely fix it? Many thanks for this video, Ive not done much van or car fixing in the past, but Im going to try this I think.
i have a same problem before, and i used the injection clearer , also can fix it😊
I've just found this video as I'm having the same fault message. I'll have a look at that tomorrow.
Let us know how you get on.
@@adamcooper7677
Done the pipe clean out today and it was full of black gunk. I didn't change the sensor just clean and reset malfunction light, so far so good. Thanks for putting this up.
@@marjoboost hi how you clear this pipe?
@@marjoboost how you cleared the pipe?? Mine is blocked at the bottom..
Now its been a while since you changed the sensor, has the fault been cured? Having the same issues, there appear to be a few remedies out there, was wondering if this worked aswell as you hoped? Thanks
Thanks for your video,had this problem twice now but been to garage to get it solved ,over £100 each time ,but it's a big but !,how do you no when the engine is regenerating ?
Could you put up part numbers of the sensor and pipe please amazing video thank you top man
Not boring. A lesson in how to save vast amounts of dough !?
hi adam ,i have vivaro 2015 and i got same sign ,show check injection system , it's does effect the power ?bcz van not getting enough power .
Does the exhaust sensor connect to the dpf? I have a dpf cleaner that you pump through tubes but don’t know which sensor to take off 😂 thanks man good video 🤙🏼
Hey man nice video ....I'm into this right now .....how did you remove the exhauste pressure sensor? My one does not have a clip do I need to twist? Many thanks in advance
Hi Adam having similar problem with my van the pipe you cleared with drill bit should i be able to blow down it? Isit open the other end? I tryed put a small pipe over top off it an blow down it but wasnt able to blow down it was to hard. Is there valve other end or something?
Top man
How do you actually take off the valve from the bracket. I've tried with adjustable spanner but don't want to break anything. There is slight play on the bracket, not sure if you just knock it out. Thanks
Hi adam very informative video and simple to understand, I've got same lights coming on ,will that sensor do for a 19 plate vivaro? Thanks for posting 👏
Thanks. Not really sure but its worth a go
Great video. Got the same problem on my Trafic. How did you get the clips off the pipe? Can’t shift them on mine
Same here mate, I can’t release them nor can I get the sensor to release
Any idea where the coolant temp sensor is located on the 1.6?
Does the rubber bit on the bottom need to be removed from the sensor when fitting it?
Hi adam what was the van running like?
I have a similar problem with check injectors message with spanner light that pops up.
I had someone look at it they are saying it could be the turbos?
I'm having an issue just now with the same fault codes and the garage cant find a cause did you have any loss of power with the fault or just the warning?
Hi I have a 2015 Vivaro and it’s just come up on the dash , “ check injection system “ would this be the same sort of thing I’d be looking for , although it’s not BiTurbo ? Cheers Dean
Hi Adam was the symptoms loss of power on slight hill incline, and then all of a sudden you get power back some times more than you expected, because that's happing to my 16 plate bi turbo vivaro 140 brake horse only just started to go like this a few months ago 140.000 on the clock it's doing my head in lol
Hi. I need to check my boost sensor. How is it removed? Is it held in with clips?
I have also the emissions fault and an intermittent injection fault … I am wondering if it is same problem !
Well done Adam! Did you have a link to eBay
For me to buy a sensor.
Couldn't see it.
I have a Renault Trafic 2016 , with all the lockdowns and short journeys, it was suggested that the sensor fault was coming up.
Especially if I used supermarket diesel
Eventually getting a long run, 100miles.
It cleared.
Just last week, I changed the pollen filter
The spanner and engine light came on with check filter, or injector's.
Weird.
Removed new filter, and put back in thinking I had installed it incorrectly.
Lights still on.
Look forwards to hearing from you.
Regards

Hey man, the part arrived.... I couldn't unclip the multiclip or get it out of the small pipe? it seems to be the other way around on a traffic... any advice?
Hi Adam, thanks for the video, how did you get the little black pipe off the other end from the sensor? And is it ok to turn the van on without the sensor connected to see if it is clogged up or not?
Awaiting reply......
Yes running it without the sensor in the pipe will tell if it's still blocked or not. You should be feeling the exhaust through it which is normal. If not it's still blocked.
I have the same issue, “multi clip comes off easy”? I didn’t find that to be the case 😀
Your link doesn't seem to take you to the correct part . Can you clarify ? Also can you demonstrate the full removal process including tube?
I have same problem on my 2018 vauxhall vivaro diagnos come up with cylinder 3 injector control circuit-open been advice to change the injector should I change it or try this first any suggestion please
Klass thnx buddy
Great Video, Same problem on my 15 plate Bi Turbo. Will have a go at doing this myself. Does anyone know where I could order some spare rubber pipe so that I can replace that too please?
