In checking the VAGCOM, I have a fault for 008319 Reductant Quality Performance P027F. When this fault occurred, the check engine light came on, the DEF refill icon and the message of 450 miles appeared. This same fault occurred maybe 10,000-ish miles ago with just the check engine light, and a top side removal of the remaining DEF and replacement with new fluid took care of the issue. The refill icon did not appear. I have heard that the fluid quality can expire and maybe that is what happened. Do you think the DEF icon refill is related? -no other related codes
Separately, I have had a lingering 008430 NOx Catalyst Bank 1 P20EE-001 Efficiency Too Low- Intermittent. This code shows up every 3000-4000 miles and I reset it as it is intermittent. It is also present but I have no reasons to think it is related. Does anyone know where the plug is for this sensor?- I want to hit it dielectric silicone and see if that resolves it or find out whether it is the sensor itself.
Finally, any thoughts as to whether I am really on a countdown to a no start? I need to be able to drive this vehicle but can't get to working on it until next week.
