In my Audi A3 8v, 1.6 tdi, 2016, CXXB engine I keep getting check engine over and over again with the "P2002 00 [01100100] - Efficiency Below Threshold" error. I had my dpf regenerated and checked, I tested my injectors - replaced one. I bought a new original vw differential pressure sensor, installed it - but got the negative pressure readings, error kept coming back, so I switched back to the old one as I could not find a way to run adaptation through vcds.

1. Can you please advice on how to perform a pressure sensor adaptation with vcds? Coding II is greyed out, adaptation menu list does not show any option for diff press sensor.

2. I visited many mechanics, but no one was able to solve the issue with recurring MIL.

3. soot mass measured shows negative value: how to fix this? maybe related to the sensor adaptation - no idea.

Thanks for help. vcds output below:
