problem #2

Jul 082018

Passat TDI

  • Automatic transmission
  • 134,000 miles

I got the "check engine" warning light on the dashboard and when I connected the code reader I see code P205C. Code description: Reductant tank temperature sensor "A" circuit low. From what I see, this is related to a sensor in the add-blue tank. I also see the problem reported by others and cost to fix it is around $700. Outrageous!!! For now I cleared the code and will see if it comes back. Not sure what the consequences of not fixing the problem could be.
