The VAG specialist I go to (in fact the other garage I use too) both fit Pagid. I've used them on our cars for over a decade and never had any issues. Fitted Brembo once because of availability but they didn't yield any noticeable benefit for the extra cost. Edit: I fitted a set of Pagid discs and pads to my brothers BMW F30 a few weeks ago from ECP.

I had something similar on my A4 B8 and it was one of the many lower suspension bushes. In my case it wasn't dangerous (just annoying) but definitely best to have it looked at just in case it's something more sinister.

Definitely not taken as a slight. If it's useful then great, if not it might as well be removed so not to confuse/mislead anyone. I wasn't expecting a reduction after the repair, but I'll continue to log this data for a few months and will post for reference. Good point re driving pattern and style though, I'll add now.

Nothing more than sharing the data I collected, as I considered it would've been useful to have found a similar log when I was trying to gauge if my values were typical. Feel free to delete the thread.

I have the 2.0 ltr 190 ultra. From VAG: When the load condition reaches 1.59 ounces (45 grams), service regeneration is no longer possible. Because the danger of destroying the filter is too great with this load, the filter must be replaced. Automatic(active) regens should happen approx. 483km/300miles My driving pattern is a 70 miles round trip for work (3 days/week) of A roads, and several 15-20 minute trips of again mostly A roads. We typically use my wife's car at weekend, otherwise I'll do another 60 miles round trip (minimum) drive on A roads. My driving style to work is either conservative (avg. 57mph to get 76mpg+) or less patient where the economy drops to 64mpg. The shorter runs are less consistent 😃 I only use Esso or Shell fuel with a dose of either Archoil or Millers Eco Max.

This P2002 00 code (as far as I can tell) was first logged on Oct-27 2021 at 69669 miles according to the scan I had done when I purchased the car in March with not many more on the clock The MIL first came on in April at approx. 61k miles, and again in May at just over 72k miles From that point it came on every 170-200 miles so I was clearing it each week There was the familiar white smoke deposited on the exhaust pipe, which became much more noticeable after the MIL light came on for the first time I had both the EGR valve and cooler replaced a few days ago at just under 75k miles as indicated by TPI 2050077/7 My new EGR valve was not adapted So just to clarify there is no need to consider your DPF for this code as I did initially, however before you rush in to having the parts replaced, check your G450 sensor voltages because it could be that at a cost of around £80 The warranty company requested photos, so I kept the parts and have uploaded them here Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the thread, and my learning - I hope someone else finds it useful V339_low pressure.pdf

Have you resolved this?

I wasted more than half a day at my local F1 centre when they "did" the tracking on my old A4, just because I was already there having tyres fitted. Never again.

I've read some issues occur with crystal build-up and wondered if there's any advantage in diluting the AdBlu by 5-10% with DI water?

Thanks for that. I'll make sure this is done when mine is changed in a couple of weeks. Or I'll likely just do it myself anyway, as it won't do any harm if it's done twice. I've also read the G450 sensor should be adapted too. What are your thoughts on that?

Thanks for the clarification. Great that you have it sorted and the car is running well. 125k miles is extremely good from what I've read. What procedure did you follow to adapt the new cooler?

Thanks for the info. If I understand correctly, it was a leak you noticed which led to the cooler being changed? Do you mean a EGR valve was VDO or the cooler too? My A4 EGR valve was replaced with a VDO and it clocked up over 100k, but was cleaned a couple of time as to be expected (and still going for the new owner).

Which model is this? Convertible? Because my sportback comes out of the pillar.

I'm assuming the light came back on since your reported on July 1st that it was ok?

I think we've crossed wires here. I was asking Steve about his EGR cooler and pressure sensor he mentioned in his post I quoted.

What model, and mileage was it?

Hi Steve, How's the car running since you had the EGR cooler changed? Did you change the valve too? Was it the cooler or the G450 sensor you needed to adapt? UDS Protocol (G450) procedure Key ON, Engine OFF [Basic Settings] Select Adaptation of diff. pressure sensor particulate filter [Go!] to activate the Basic Setting. After the result of Finished Correctly appears click [Stop] Select Resetting of learned values of difference pressure sensor [Go!] to activate the Basic Setting. After the result of Finished Correctly appears click [Stop] [Done, Go Back]

As Steve and Stevey have already mentioned, P2002 is caused by a blocked EGR cooler, though it's worth doing a voltage check on the G450 sensors too because that's the pressure feedback. I was strongly advised to not delete the EGR cooler, so to avoid failure of components/engine from overheating 12-18 months later. You could be lucky and get away with replacing an £80 sensor vs. £1k for an EGR valve and cooler replacement, but you're already experiencing it getting hot quickly, so chances are it's blocked.

I've since used this: Autoglym VRC500US Vinyl & Rubber Care, 500ml https://amzn.eu/d/2LTVxQJ Very easy to use; all seals done in around 10 minutes. And I'm really pleased with the outcome.

So what's the learning here? If something is not clear, get clarification in writing before you sign the deal.

I just don't get it. All this effort for what is essentially an extra £20/month on a car that's being rented at a cost of what? £300-500/month? I wish this was all I had to concern myself with in life. It's all relativel I guess 🙂

Thanks for the summary. I've never had a car on a lease, but I'd personally expect details of the service to be in writing so there's no ambiguity. The A5 I bought had been serviced on the 2 year/18600 miles and so had my wife's Golf. They were both 4 years old from a lease. I realise none of this is helpful, and really cannot relate, so all the best with this - I hope you achieve the desired outcome.

Someone help me out here please. Is the issue potentially having to spend an extra £400 over a 3 year period? Or any fallout from the car not being serviced according to the recommended schedule?

Quick update: Car is booked in to have the EGR Valve and Cooler replaced. I'll get some photos of the old parts, and do a quick summary of my experience and learning when it's done.

Done! Perfect
