VW Sharan: Check engine light coming on
In case of VW Sharan 7M6 / 7M9 powered by the 1.9 TDI AUY engine, drivers report a drop in power during the acceleration phase and the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) coming on. The cause is insufficient contact quality.
In addition to the symptoms listed, error codes may be recorded: P0225, P0226, P0227, P0228, P1630, P1631, P1632, P1633, P1634, P1639, P2122, P2123, P2127, P2128, P2135, P2138. They all relate to the problems surrounding the gas pedal sensor (photo 1).
In this case, the cause of the problem described above is insufficient contact quality in the connection between the accelerator pedal sensor and the plug (photo 2).
Solution to the problem:
Check the plug connector for damaged or corroded plug pins (photo 2, photo
3), replace if necessary. Replacement parts:
- single wire: 000 979 025 EA
