I got this engine management fault code P202A, which means "Reductant Tank Heater Control Circuit / Open". So there is a problem with with the heater for AdBlue fluid.
This is the video how I fixed it and solved the problem.
Here are some useful links:

Repair kit (replacement parts) - you can get them from your local dealership or from eBay. Please, check the price from dealership, because it can be not too different to those on eBay. Please check compatibility with your car (especially if it's not VW Sharan/SEAT Alhambra). Anyway, here is the link to eBay search results that will give you part number and few choices at a good price:

Hi, Thanks for the video. My 2011 Seat Alhambra threw up an engine management light and my VCDS software showed fault P202B, which indicated the adblue heater had a sort you ground. Checked with Seat UK that the VW part code you showed in the video was the same for my Alhambra, and it was. Ordered one from ebay supper in Germany for £170 including postage, it arrived 4 working days. All fitted and car back on the road in about 3.5 hours. Saved me a packet of money and the joy of beating the dealership system. Interestingly found out that VW cover this part under warranty, but the idiots at Seat deny there is a problem. Thanks again for the great video .

@wawayltd 6 лет назад

Thanks Nige :) Glad if it helps! VW dealers in UK also deny the problem - recall could be applied for US only..

Thank you so so so much for putting this video content together, our 2012 Alhambra has thrown an error code for the AdBlu heater (reported by dealership), however Seat want £695 for the part and then £180 plus VAT to replace… Thanks to your video I will most definitely be doing this myself.

@wawayltd 6 лет назад

Dan Gabriel Thanks :) Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't normally replace those fluids. Every time when I replace cambelt and water pump, quite a lot of coolant comes out, so I consider it as partial replacement. As for brake fluid, I think I should do that eventually - I have a pressure bleeder. My previous car, Audi A6 has done 409.000 miles on the same brake fluid :) My Sharan currently has 220.000. But, because I want to keep it perfect, I might do it at some point.. Maybe spring? Don't know :)

@wawayltd 3 года назад

Hi Kubo, till today I thought that heater, level sensor and temperature sensor are in one piece. Now, after good look at diagram in Elsawin, I see some evaluation unit, which is not the same thing. I can see it in my video, I didn't take it out. Probably that could be the thing... But I'm not 100% sure, because I'm not professional. You know, I can recommend good website with manuals from manufacturer, you can download well organised PDF for your car about everything. Check this out: erwin.seat.com/erwin/showHome.do

@alanbangtan5910 Год назад

Hello there, I’d like to ask a question, I hope you don’t Mind. My sharan got a adblue error and engine won’t start after 600 miles. I topped up the adblue but still the warning sign is on. Is this related to P20EE code?

@wawayltd Год назад

It's a common problem with VW. Quite often, it takes time for a car to "recognise" that AdBlue was topped up. My theory is that level sensor can be crystallised, and it takes time to dissolve. It can be a couple of days. Also, the manual says that after top-up, you should put ignition on for at least 30 seconds without starting the engine. If none of that works, it should give you some fault code, why it's not happy, then it needs to be sorted. Please, don't use up all those remaining miles. Otherwise, it may be hard to start the car. AdBlue is the right pain in the bottom!

I have no lights on the dashboard but via VCDS I read: P202A 00 [096] - Open Circuit Intermittent - Not Confirmed - Tested Since Memory Clear In your case, you had the check engine on the dashboard? If in my case it says: "Not Confirmed" shall I wait till it confirms or shall I change it anyway? Thank you for the videos!!!

@wawayltd 5 лет назад

I had "check engine" light coming up few seconds after every engine start. Yours is Intermittent, so probably is not a trouble yet. However, what I don't like about all this AdBlue system - is when you tank is getting low and you need a top-up, then it's difficult to get rid of that "top-up" light if you have fault in AdBlue system and it gives you annoying mileage countdown. Not sure how serious is P202A. I kept clearing error and driving like that for like a year, before I found time, will and money to do so. In taxi miles 1 year = 60K miles. But I don't wait till AdBlue tank get empty, and that's another thing to get into for me eventually, because overfilling apparently is also not good... I'll just buy Tesla ;)

@vasilemarii6523 5 лет назад

@@wawayltd Eventually my intermitent 202A turned to a confirmed 202B. I did the job today, hopefully it will hold. I have 2 questions though: 1-Did the check engine dissapeared right away? Mine did not. I did a short trip after that and it stayed. I cleared the code after the trip , now I am waiting to see if it holds. 2-The new heater, on the top, where the pump is connected, has two holes. One of them , the bigger one had a rubber ring pre-installed. The smaller one was empty in my case. But I found in the box also a small ring that fits there. Also the old heater cup had the small whole fitted with a small ring. I looked into your video but still not sure if you used the small rubber or not. Also for people htat may be initereseted, the old heater had the resistance of under 15 Ohm whereas the new one has it around 2 ohm. Anyway, before installing mine, I watched your video al least 4 times, and it helped a lot. Thank you!

Hello, since a while I also have an issue with this error or alarm light due to Adblue. I see that the previous owner already repalced it couple of years ago and not sure why the issue appears again. It does not stop me for using it for now. I keep adding Adblue when I get the message. Is there another mean or alternative to the repare and replaceent you do to fix the issue? I still don't see anything from VW to take responsibility for this issue here in Europe. In the USA they replace it for free.

@wawayltd 4 года назад

Hello, if you are talking about actual AdBlue heater, I don't know any alternative fix apart from replacing it. However since I have done it, the problem didn't come back, and I do a lot of miles. The problem that I'm always scared of - when it runs low, gives countdown, you fill up, but countdown still there. Common issue. Currently I don't have time to look into it properly - I just keep it always full, fill up 10 litres every 4000 miles. There are options to disable AdBlue, but as far as I know it's illegal.

There are some ways to disable AdBlue, but it's illegal in some countries (like Uk). I don't know how to that myself, but you will need a specialist, because your car won't like if you just cut it off. Also I have heard of some simulation kits - you plug it in and car thinks that AdBlue is on. Unfortunately, I don't know anything about it.

Try to clean AdBlue injector. I'll make a video at some point (maybe summer). Its quite easy - just after DPF and before Catalytic converter - remove adblue pipe (same as at the tank side), release clamp, disconnect connector, take it out. I cleaned mine by spaying water through the hole in plastic bottle (I mean actual injector, not the hole it's going to). Try not to drop any residue back into exhaust/catalyst. There are few videos here on RU-vid, not for VW, but good enough to get the idea.

What was the primary cause of leak?

@wawayltd 5 лет назад

I think partly because of overfilling, it comes out through breathers. I tried to start keeping it tidy and not overfill it, then I discovered that it's getting covered in that salt anyway. Probably pump is not great. I quoted TPS for new pump - they said it comes as "repair kit" for 400+ pounds... So I just gave up. It works now, the car doesn't "complain", so I just wait till it gets worse.. That's my story. As much as I'm in love with this car - that much I hate this AdBlue system, mainly because of stupid mileage countdown whet there's something it doesn't like - which makes things quite complicated for me as a taxi driver.

@wawayltd 3 года назад

Probably. If part numbers match and they have some warranty. See how price compares to dealers.

Sorry Mariusz, I only know how to replace that heater..

@mariuszzielinski3932 6 лет назад

WheelsAndMotors how did you know, that was exactly the heater because P202A maybe others problems with this

@wawayltd 6 лет назад

Normally in my experience, if something in the car is failing, wiring is the last thing to blame, so I would rather replace unit instead of bothering with wires and connectors. Then I've found few videos saying that unit is likely to fail, and in America they even make recalls and guarantee repairs on them. And finally, when I rang dealership to order new heater element, they said that it comes as a "repair kit" - all that made me thinking that I need to replace heater... And it helped to solve my problem :)

@mariuszzielinski3932 6 лет назад

WheelsAndMotors i see, that great, ok, but in my experience ive the p202a problem after a tank adblue in summer, so i dont think so the heater is running, but problem still come back afyer i clean computer memory by my elm327, stupid and nervous situation

@wawayltd 6 лет назад

I don't think it affects cars performance in any way, I drove with that fault for like a year, before I decided and was ready to fix it :)

My 2011 Sharan recently gave me P203B: Reductant level sensor circuit range/performance. So, something wrong with the AdBlue level sensor. So I filled it up, after that, the error was gone. Today it gave an error out of nowhere: top up AdBlue, no start possible after 1000km. The check engine light came on aswell, but I don't have a device to read the error code. But I suppose it is still the level sensor giving me trouble... That's why I watched your video, to learn how to get the tank out. And I watched other videos of you aswell! F.e. the timing belt. Thanks a lot!! Can you tell me if te level sensor is in the heater assembly? Or is it a seperate device placed in the tank?

@wawayltd Год назад

I am not sure where exactly is the level sensor, sorry. I don't have that car, and I've lost my manuals for it. However I can recommend a good website with manuals from manufacturer (you can get access for like 7 Euros per hour, which is more than enough to download well organized PDF's for your car), also one pretty good active Facebook group. Here are the manuals (make sure you select all English, unless you prefer your manuals in German ;) ): erwin.volkswagen.de/erwin/showHome.do And here's the Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/1463201880401563 Hope it helps.

Hello Please I would have a question. My Sharan sends the p205b fault. the adblue reservoir temp reads 69c although the ambiant temp was 10C and motor was stopped.. Do you know if it is armfull for the antipollution system if the car runs for just a hundreds of km (i need to drive far away and won't be able to fix the issue soon...will be reseting the fault) ? Your have shared a great video ! it will definetly be usefull for me ! many thanks!

@wawayltd 2 месяца назад

If there is a problem with AdBlue, sometimes it gives you mileage countdown. You need to make sure not to exceed that, otherwise there will be trouble starting the engine. That's about all I know. As for your fault, I don't know what's wrong there, sorry. I'm not a mechanic, just an enthusiast.

@fabusy 3 года назад

I've got a P202A error also, however my adblue fluid level was low too. The bottle and spanner have been flashing so I topped it up fully however the spanner and bottle is still flashing and CEL is on. Are these systems linked?? Are you anywhere near Manchester?? Thanks

@wawayltd 3 года назад

In my experience this AdBlue system is temperamental. I hate it. Try to clear the error. Also put ignition on for 30 seconds without starting the engine. Maybe give it couple days to realise that it was topped up, but if there's countdown - do not let it get to 0, as it may become more complicated. If none of that helps, I would go for heater replacement. I can't promise it will solve all issues, it's just what I would do if it happened to me, and I'm not a mechanic... Pretty far from Manchester, in Bristol.

@fabusy 3 года назад

@@wawayltd thanks it cleared after driving on the motorway however p202a remains open circuit reductant heater. I suspect heater but have had another cat converter changed and before that EGR valve and reconditioned the turbo. These adblue systems cause terrible problems.
