Product Information
Full details
This CI Exhaust Temperature Sensor is designed for VW TIGUAN 5N 2.0D models manufactured before the DPF system, between 2007 and 2018. It helps monitor exhaust gas temperature before the particulate filter, crucial for engine performance and emissions control. A potential caveat is ensuring compatibility with your specific vehicle's pre-DPF configuration.

FAQs
What vehicles is this exhaust temperature sensor compatible with?
This sensor is compatible with VW TIGUAN 5N 2.0D models manufactured between 2007 and 2018 (before DPF) and Audi A3 (8P1) 2.0 TDI models from 05/2003 to 08/2012. Always use the vehicle checker to confirm fitment.
What does an exhaust temperature sensor do?
It measures the temperature of exhaust gases before the particulate filter. This data is used by the engine control unit (ECU) to manage DPF regeneration and optimize engine performance.
How do I know if my sensor needs replacing?
Symptoms include a Check Engine Light with specific fault codes (e.g., P0544-P0546), reduced engine performance, poor fuel economy, or issues with DPF regeneration.
What tools are needed for installation?
Typically, a 17mm spanner is required for removal and installation. Professional installation is recommended.
Can I install this sensor on a vehicle with a DPF?
No, this specific sensor is designed for vehicles manufactured *before* the integration of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system. Using it on a DPF-equipped vehicle may result in incorrect readings and system errors.
What is the cable length?
The cable length for this sensor is 660 mm.
What is the thread size?
The thread size is M14 x 1.5.
Does this sensor come with a warranty?
Please refer to the retailer's specific warranty policy for details on this product. Information regarding warranty is typically found in the product listing or the seller's terms and conditions.
Troubleshooting
Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated with P0544-P0546 codes (Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit)
Verify the sensor's electrical connection is secure and free from corrosion. Check the wiring harness for damage. If the wiring is intact, the sensor itself may be faulty and require replacement.
Poor engine performance or reduced fuel economy
A malfunctioning EGT sensor can lead to incorrect fuel mixture or DPF regeneration cycles. Consult a mechanic to diagnose if the sensor is providing inaccurate readings.
Sensor not threading properly
Ensure you are using the correct sensor for your vehicle and that the threads on both the sensor (M14 x 1.5) and the exhaust manifold/pipe are clean and undamaged. Do not force the sensor.
Connector difficult to attach
Check that the connector is clean and free of debris. Ensure it is aligned correctly with the sensor's mating part before applying gentle pressure until it clicks into place.

- Compatible with a wide range of cross-reference part numbers for easier sourcing.
Cons
- Only compatible with specific VW TIGUAN 5N 2.0D models manufactured *before* the DPF system.
- Requires technical knowledge or professional installation for proper fitment.
- Color may not be a direct match to original components if aesthetics are critical.
- Availability might be limited to specific regions or retailers.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Check:
Before purchasing, it is crucial to use the make and model tool provided or contact customer support to verify this sensor fits your specific vehicle. This sensor is compatible with VW TIGUAN 5N 2.0D models manufactured between 2007 and 2018, specifically those *before* the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) system was integrated. It also fits Audi A3 (8P1) 2.0 TDI models from 05/2003 to 08/2012.
Installation:
Installation typically requires a 17mm spanner and access to the exhaust system. The sensor screws into a threaded port (M14 x 1.5) and its 2-pin connector needs to be securely attached. Due to the sensitive nature of exhaust system components and the need for accurate readings, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is highly recommended. Ensure the engine is cool before attempting any work.
Care:
Exhaust temperature sensors are generally maintenance-free. However, regular visual inspection of the exhaust system for leaks or damage is advised. If the sensor or its wiring appears damaged, it should be replaced immediately. Avoid using harsh chemicals or pressure washing directly onto the sensor or its connector.
