^^^Huh?
Check engine light came on today on the way home from work. Stop by Auto Zone and the same code came out P2201. Will be taken it to my VW tech tomorrow to have it assessed......TBA. Just turned 43k. Nothing like getting hosed for diesel fuel - buck more than regular....I searched the forum and found one thread back in June on this. Yesterday my check engine light came on (steady light). I spoke with a local VW dealer as I was away from my home dealership and they looked at the car today.
They indicated it was fault code p2201 - nox sensor circuit. They also stated that per Tech Bulletin 2030453 that the car required an ECM reflash (software update) to correct the issue.
Picked up this afternoon and all seems to be OK.
Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this issue as the car has just passed 5,000 miles since I purchased it in May 2012.
I had this done, but the 2201 code kept coming up intermittently. Just had the sensor replaced under extended warranty, we'll see if light stays off.I just received a notice from VWOA about an ECM reflash 'Service Campaign' with PR-speak language about turbo failure on vehicle start under extreme cold conditions. It says the ECM software has 'been improved..'
Gingy22, that's good to hear. I got the emissions modification and a few days later got the following fault code per VCDS, "18623 - NOx Sensor 1 Bank 1 P2201 00 [237] Implausible Signal." I'm headed to the Dealer tomorrow morning. I'll post on what happens.Yes. There's an extended emissions warranty that starts when your tdi was redone for the emissions scandal thing. I just had my nox replaced for free but after a couple hundred miles i got another p2201 nox code...
Good stuff. I was worried because it's about a $500 sensor. I'm going back Wednesday. Hopefully they'll figure out why it came back.Gingy22, that's good to hear.

Good luck and let us know how it goes. Mine is going back for the 3rd time for the same issue - 200 mile AdBlue warning with a check engine light. So far they have fixed an EGR gasket that was loose, AdBlue tank and NOX sensor - all under warranty. Seems like after we drive the car for about 200-300 miles the error comes back. Hoping the 3rd time is a charm.Good stuff. I was worried because it's about a $500 sensor. I'm going back Wednesday. Hopefully they'll figure out why it came back.
Turns out, the nox sensor harness recall was improperly performed by a different vw dealer. They're reporting it back to vw and redoing that recall. Hopefully no more CELsGood luck and let us know how it goes. Mine is going back for the 3rd time for the same issue - 200 mile AdBlue warning with a check engine light.
