2017 Macan 3.0 S Diesel. My engine light came on yesterday and ‘Permission to Drive’ also came up on the dash (relief, I was miles from home!). I called in for a diagnostic check at my local garage and P229E NOx Sensor Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 2 fault code came up (see pic). I found quite a good site which explained about NOx sensors etc and the varying costs to sort the problem out depending on whether you diy. Apparently the sensors are only good for 50-60000 miles, I’m on 52K so this ties in with what it said.The site wasn’t Macan specific so has anyone had any experience with this code and fixing? Also, am I doing the car any harm driving it as it is? Does anyone know where the sensor is located? Cheers all, thanks for any help :-)
