2008 vw caddy maxi life - engine management light problem - glascarmill

Hi Folks,

Here's my story. The engine management light came on a couple of days ago. I brought it to a mechanic who hooked it up to vag com. Under engine code faults the only one that appeared was for the front pas door not unlocking but it works fine. we did searched under the obd option and the following code fault was found.

kwp 2000 p0473. Exhaust pressure sensor circuit high input.

The code was cleared, light went off, but after driving for a few miles. it came back on again today. Sometimes it doesn't effect the driving at all but every so often there'd be a dip in power and then off it would go again. Its my wife's car and we've a new born on board so she won't drive it!

Help please. ta very much
