DPF Sensor replacement
Discussion
Hello,
I have a Bluetooth ODBII device that I have used to diagnose 2 warning lights on the dash. Output below.
Googling the codes, it looks like I need to replace the DPF Sensor in my car which I have located here:

Car is VW 1.6TDi Golf
Question:
Q1) Do I need to disconnect the car battery to fit this?
Some videos lead me to believe it's a case of unscrewing it from the brackets, unplug from 2 hoses and refit the new one with the opposite process.
Q2) With my ODB scanner, I just clear codes, turn the car on and that's it fitted?
P2454
Raw code: 2454
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Confirmed
OBDII: Diesel particulate filter (DPF) pressure sensor A - circuit low
P2455
Raw code: 2455
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Pending
OBDII: Diesel particulate filter (DPF) pressure sensor A - circuit high
P2453
Raw code: 2453
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Pending
OBDII: Diesel particulate filter (DPF) pressure sensor A - circuit malfunction
7345
Raw code: 001CB1
ECU: Engine control unit
Status: Test failed, Test failed (current drive cycle), Pending, Confirmed, Test failed since last DTC clear, Warning indicator requested
Volkswagen: P245500: Particulate Filter Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit High
Thank you
