Same side detection sensor is bad - so they're replacing that under warranty, since it was replaced under warranty before - warrantying the warranty...
Now...the car also had a Check Engine light, that my code reader couldn't read - which to me meant it was diesel emissions...
...well, I was right. If I remember correctly from what I was just told - it was four codes - both NOx sensors, the O2 sensor and the DEF heater are all bad. Just under $1700 to replace.
Will these even affect how the car runs (as in, am I going to get a forced engine-power-reduced message?), or will the light just stay lit and the car will stay happy. Been driving with the light on for a week or two, and the car seems fine (though looking back, the last tank had dropped quite a bit - but it does vary considering we drive a lot of city with stop and go).
I see the part numbers for the NOx sensors and the O2 sensor - and see how outrageously expensive they are. Those shouldn't be any issue to put in myself, though.
The DEF heater, though...do we have a part number for that - is it even separate?
Car only has about 43,000 miles, and I'm not surprised by something like this happening, but this seems a bit early.
I forsee that doing a full delete and tuning it would be a cheaper option, and we'd end up with far more power and even higher fuel economy...and ****, even a weight reduction.
