That temperature sensor was probably the cause for your dpf getting blocked because certain fault codes can prevent a car from doing a regneration or it was the side effect of it getting so blocked that it broke the sensor/too much carbon buildup on the sensor
Yes beware these 1.6 tdi golfs, the EGR cooler valve assembly is a common fault just waiting to happen especially with regular short journey driving. Cost of replacement and fitting north of £600.Second very common fault is tdi fuel injector failure, again the cost will be approx. £600 for just one. Remember you have four of these tdi injectors. Third common fault is the dual mass clutch fitted to the 1.6 tdi cayc 77Kw 105bhp model. Cost to replace this item £700 if you are lucky, ask me how l know !!!!!! All three jobs needed fixing on my 2009 1.6 tdi cayc with only 56,000 on the clock, history of car known as l bought this car new December 2009.
bought same as yours about 2 weeks ago my mate has a scanner-car running 100% but it showed up about 5 faults-decided to get pdf cleaned it was advertised at £80-so i got guy 2 come to house-yes he did something similar to start of your video-but then he said it needed a major clen car had only 98,000 miles as it was garaged for nearly 2 years but started regularly-=cost then shot up 2 £250-------------my pager went off 4 fire brigade and he was gone when i got back-wife paid him not sure what he did but scanner then showed 3 faults(next day) which where cleared by friend-what was total cost of yours thanks
Don't understand to point about low fuel tank quantity 1/4 -25% .a 2009 1.6 tdi cayc engine. Is the guy saying the car won't perform a regen of the DPF while driving if lower than that fuel quantity?
@@drivenltd2020 - Absolute tosh, it's short, low-speed journeys that clogs dpf/egr/inlet tracts ect, as long as there's enough fuel in it WHEN it does it's regen - and it's usually far less than a 1/4 of a tank - then all will be well.

Yeah we did have to also change the sensor
This guy was lovely engine is running a lot smoother now good video xx
Yeah top guy. Why thank you Mrs J xx
Is it still running fine?
@@sheffcitys2forgedinsteel255 Yes
The issue is people buy diesels and use them for short journeys and things like this happen... they just look at MPG and think i want a diesel lol..

Its a massive issue we was advised after this that it needed a new EGR Valve.
@@drivenltd2020 ok thanks 4 thanks thats very interesting that it needed new egr valve

He was besically saying do not let your tank drop lower than 1/4 as it is the Main cause for DPF issues.

@@gregtaylor6146 1/4 tank the car wont let it do regen as it needs fuel to do so
