FAQs
What vehicles is this exhaust temperature sensor compatible with?
This sensor is compatible with specific Opel and Vauxhall models, including the OPEL ASTRA J (P10) 1.7 CDTI (engine code A 17 DTJ) manufactured between 09/2009 and 10/2015. Always verify compatibility using OE part numbers like 55571362.
What is the thread size of this sensor?
The sensor features an M14 x 1.5 thread size.
How do I know if my exhaust temperature sensor needs replacement?
Symptoms can include a Check Engine Light, P0544 diagnostic trouble code, reduced engine power, poor fuel economy, or issues with catalytic converter efficiency. It's best to have a professional diagnose the issue.
Where is this sensor located on the vehicle?
This exhaust temperature sensor is fitted before the catalytic converter in the exhaust system.
Does this sensor require any special tools for installation?
A 17mm spanner is typically required to install or remove the sensor due to its hex head design.
What is the purpose of an exhaust temperature sensor?
It measures the temperature of exhaust gases, providing crucial data to the engine control unit (ECU) for managing emissions, fuel efficiency, and preventing damage to components like the catalytic converter.
What does the OE number reference mean?
The OE number reference (e.g., 55571362) indicates the original equipment part number from the vehicle manufacturer. Using this number helps ensure you are purchasing a compatible replacement part.
Troubleshooting
Check Engine Light (CEL) related to exhaust temperature
Verify the sensor is correctly installed and the connector is securely attached. Check the wiring harness for any signs of damage or corrosion. If issues persist, the sensor may need replacement.
Poor engine performance or reduced fuel economy
An inaccurate exhaust temperature reading can affect engine performance. Ensure the sensor is functioning correctly and consult a professional if performance issues persist after sensor confirmation.
Difficulty installing the sensor
Ensure the correct M14 x 1.5 thread is being used and that the mating threads in the exhaust system are clean and undamaged. Use a 17mm spanner for installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: The CI Exhaust Temperature Sensor XEPS203 is specifically designed for vehicles with OE part number 55571362. This includes models such as the OPEL ASTRA J (P10) 1.7 CDTI with engine code A 17 DTJ, manufactured between September 2009 and October 2015. Always verify your vehicle's existing part number against GENERAL MOTORS 55571362, OPEL 855277, or VAUXHALL 55571362 to ensure correct fitment.
Setup: Installation requires removing the old sensor and screwing in the new XEPS203. The M14 x 1.5 thread ensures a secure fit, and a 17mm spanner is typically needed. The 2-pin connector should be securely attached to the corresponding wiring harness.
Care: This sensor is designed for long-term operation within the exhaust system. No routine user maintenance is required. However, regular checks of the wiring and connector for damage or corrosion are recommended during other vehicle maintenance intervals. If the sensor needs replacement, it should be done by a qualified technician.
