SERVICE INFORMATION
ALL Late Model Volkswagen Vehicles, Heated Oxygen Sensors
If you encounter a Heated Oxygen Sensor DTC (front and/or rear) AND the vehicle has less than 2000 miles, drive the vehicle in 3rd gear (under load) for approximately 10 miles. If the O2S DTC(s) do NOT return; release/deliver the car without replacing any parts.
- It is possible that the oxygen sensor(s) in this vehicle became loaded up (unintentionally coated by internal engine component contaminants) due to frequent moving or re-parking the cars at the Port or Dealership multiple times AND improperly heating the engine cooling system to its specified operating temperature.
