Basically every morning I start the car and it bleeps service vehicle soon...

Connected it up to the computer comes back with 3 codes:

P0181: SOMETHING TO DO WITH FUEL TEMPERATURE INTERMITTENT FAULT

P2080: EXHAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1 “PERFORMANCE” PERMANENT FAULT

P2081: EXAUST GAS TEMPERATURE SENSOR 1 FAULTY “FUNCTION” INTERMITTENT FAULT

How ever the DPF comes on a regular basis after driving it, it goes down or standing stationary taking the throttle up to 3000 and gradually bringing it down it clears the DPF light to go off... but my oil life reduces quite a bit...

Could the fault be the EGT sensor or is it a DPF fault...

How much would a EGT sensor cost..
And where to find it to replace it...

Also fuel economy seems to be reduced by a bit...

Your help guys will be much appreciated getting to the bottom of this.
