Seat Arona NOx Sensor Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2021 Seat Arona with a gasoline engine is experiencing a check engine light due to a NOx sensor failure, accompanied by a slight exhaust leak. The issue is suspected to be a defective cable or plug connection to the sensor. It is suggested to inspect the sensor wiring for damage, such as rodent interference, and to address the exhaust leak to prevent further damage. The problem was resolved by fixing a defective plug connection, costing 95€.

Interesting, thanks for sharing your experience. When you say 'sensor wiring', do you mean the cable that plugs directly into the NOx sensor Or are there other connections I should be looking for

Yeah, the cable that plugs directly into the NOx sensor. Give it a wiggle, see if anything changes. Honestly, NOx sensors can be finicky on any car, not just diesel engines. But if you are smelling exhaust I would take it to a workshop before you damage your catalytic converter.

Thanks for the advice. It turned out to be a defective plug connection, just like you suggested. The whole thing cost 95€ to fix.

Whoa, NOx sensor failure on a newer car That's rough I had a similar issue with my old BMW, though it was related to the catalytic converter in my case. Check engine light and all that jazz. Is the air-fuel ratio acting up too Could be a sign that the pollution control system isn't working as it should. Have you looked at the sensor wiring Maybe a rodent chewed on it It's probably something simple like that, I hope.
