Engine just died.

hmm, that shouldn't cause a fault. has it got a dpf ? if so, idling like that will block it. maybe thats a factor.

What's a DPF?

**Guest 2** · 24-11-2013,07:18 PM

diesel particulate filter, check your data sticker for 7gn, if its there then no dpf is fitted, if you cant see 7gn then you have one.

**TaximanWsM** · 24-11-2013,07:21 PM

Is the data sticker the one in the spare wheel recess?

**zollaf** · 24-11-2013,07:21 PM

yes, or the service book

Lol. No that's the lot...
What does the DPF do again?
Sat here in the car all the while I've been on here with the engine idling, giving it the odd burst to 3500 RPM and so far no problems....
bit worried about taking it for a drive though in case it dies again...!

Unlike earlier engines the versions in Passat B6 can run on the cam shaft sensor if the crankshaft sensor fails. You probably have a dodgy crank sensor or wiring , hence your fault code. Engine will be harder to start when ever it has to use the cam sensor. Crank sensor change can be a real pain so be very very careful.

dpf, diesel particulate filter. basically its a filter that traps the large black bits of soot that come out of your tailpipe. once in a while it cleans itself , usually by using extra fuel to raise the temp of the exhaust to burn off the soot and turn it to ash. once full of ash, you fit a new one.
