good point about the. Egr
And i do believe the pump feeds the egr valve cooler also. This is what came up on my faults first so i replaced the egr valve and had it coded in so thats all good hopefully. Now i was thinking as you do... So the fault only comes up during start up So im im thing that when you switch off the pump is meant to come on to cool, now i think the fault is that the pump isnt kicking in, So when i start the engine again it throws up the coil light as the pump didnt start on last start up. Pump does work though if i use vagcom to switch it on Another thing i have found is when using the torque app or car scanner pro app. This is reading my coolant temp and its shockingly high 120 degC to 147 degC But no warning lights on dash and no temp gauge either. My mechanic asked which coolant sensor was ir reading but i had no idea. So looks like the temp is high, the pump should cut in but isnt The pump should cut in when i switch off but isnt And this maybe whats giving me the coil light. I want to check the wiring from pump to the ecu but how do i gain access, i cant see much from underneath 🤔

You could definitely do with being sure about the coolant temp sensor. That won't be a genuine reading because the engine would be boiling but it could be that the coolant sensor is failing and sending the wrong value to the ECU. However normally a value that high would cause a code. The other possibility is that the scanners are mis-labelled and that reading is for another temp (exhaust gas maybe). Although it seems odd if you have tried two different scanners.
You ought to get to the bottom of that before you go much further. If you can find someone with genuine version of VCDS it would be easier, it is very reliable. The sensor you are looking for is called the G62 coolant sensor. There may be more than one.

where are the coolant temp sensors on the t5.1 2013 102bhp?
I think i will change them to be sure Today i stripped all the wiring but found no damage, also did a continuity test all ok So i guess ill try the sensors
