EGT sensors

Part No is: 06A 919 529B.

I've just been quoted £143.23 +VAT from both SEAT in Bedford and Audi in Hitchin.

Suppose to be quit easy to fit, around 30 mins according to a chap on the Audi forum who fitted it himself.

I'll be ordering mine sometime this week and fitting it myself. Will let you know how it goes.

cheers buddy, if you wouldn't mind, rather pay a mate beer money than a garages labour rate

cheers

i had mine changed and all has been good since. a bit pricey to get done but hey....its worth it

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

yeah had mine done too, added piece of mind. If your handy with a spanner after watching my mate i would say it's fairly simple DIY. The feeding through is probably the hardest bit

Quite straight forward, but don't put any pressure on the probe as it may snap.
Obviously screw the probe into the turbo first and then feed around to underside of intake manifold tray keeping away from the hot side of the turbo. Nip it up tight to avoid boost leaks and don't worry if you can't get it to sit vertical as before because the thread could be slightly longer or shorter.

Is it worth taking it out to try cleaning it?? Or just buy a new one. Also what is the location of it, is it in the back of the turbo?

cheers

Andy

 

[Rocky Rocastle]

yes mate you are correct on the locations and personally i wouldn't say cleaning it in this case would solve the issue, it is more than likely just nakered unfortunately
