ECU Error: 17861 - Exhaust Gas Temp Sensor 1

Hi,

Looks like the EGT sensor from what google told me, but the 17865 & 17538 errors I cant find anything really about them. Is it mose likley just the sensor or is something else going on. Also would it be ok to drive for a few day until i order that part, Its about 20 mins to and from work, so not much?

Thanks in advance.

Rob

You need a new EGT sensor. You can drive just fine but you may find your car with less power occasionally. A very expensive part.
