I plugged an ODB reader into my 2018 Tiguan as I keep getting intermittent engine error lights.....comes on and off randomly....

The reader shows P154B$07e8 and also P154B$07e8pd

I think the p154b element is something to do with the DPF filter, but I can't pin down the meaning after the "B".  Any advice?

    I suspect you'll get more detailed answers on the Tiguan forums. (E. G. https://www.tiguanforums.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=6167).
    I'm not sure about the additional indicators after the fault Codes as I have ODB11 (specifically for VW, Seat, Audi cars) and that only gives codes up to the $ character (that I've seen so far.)

    I had my OH Nissan Note in for a similar code indicating recirculation valve (broke down once and lack of power) sent it in for a service and it turned out it was lack of use and a few good runs cleared the code and the car is now right as reign.

    batteries have also taken a bit of a hard time, £245 on a couple of Commercial batteries for the DAF LF45.  Looks like the Superb will be next for a new one.  :(

    Hey, Did you find out what it was in the end? I have the exact same two codes! Really getting to me now!

    In the end I got it fixed under warranty - there was an issue with the DPF and the battery was faulty.

    Thanks, was that the sensor in the DPF or something else? Sorry for all the questions.
