VerifiedHello
this error code means that the water sensor in the fuel system thinks that the fuel is contaminated
If you're confident the fuel is OK then its very likely an error with the sensor which is on the fuel filter and there's also water drain ( white plastic tap) on the filter which you unscrew to let any trapped water out
The fuel filter is located in the offside rear wheel arch
Tubular item about 6" long and 2 1/2" diameter with some wires on the bottom and pipes at the top. It unscrews from the bit with the pipes attached and the wire connection unit on the bottom also unscrews.
