14 Smart Ways To Spend Your On Leftover Audi G28 Budget

How to Replace an Audi G28 Engine Speed Sensor In this video Charles the Humble Mechanic demonstrates how to replace the G28 engine speed sensor. The sensor is situated at the top of the transmission just above the flywheel ring gear. It sends a signal to the ECU via an uncolored wire (T55/49) which is then sent to the tachometer within the instrument cluster. 1. Engine Speed Sensor It is located on the outside of the transmission, above the flywheel ring gear G28 Engine Speed Sensor sends a signal to ECU pin T55/49 via the grey wire. The ECU then utilizes this information to regulate the boost, fuel, and timig. It also sends a signal to the G5 tachometer in the instrument cluster. The sensor is used to link with the G40 Camshaft position Sensor. new audi key has to be aware of when the crankshaft has reached TDC and also where the camshaft lies so that it can activate the spark and injectors. If this sensor fails, the ECU will display a P00160 code which means the Crank Shaft and Intake Camshaft are not in sync and could indicate the chain stretching or a jump link on the upper timing chain. However, the code won't appear on its own, without additional information from other sensors (G4 and G40). Testing is a bit tricky because there are two pins for the connector and they serve different purposes however the best way to test it is to measure resistance between the sensor and the ECU. It should read approximately 1000 ohms when the sensor is in full operation. If you're having issues with this sensor, look for evidence of coolant or oil in the connector bay. 2. Injectors Yesterday accelerating full speed from highway paytoll i had massive power loss like the engine is out of gas or the injectors are not firing any more. I pulled out the spark plugs this morning, 3 were soaked with gasoline and the fourth was dry. I placed a tissue over each injector hole and when I turn the engine on without sparks, the ones with gazoline jump out. The 4th one remains shut. I checked the ground connection on ECU pins 14/55/30/55/48/55/14/55/48/ I got zero Ohm. I think the issue is in another location. I also tried to reset the PID but with no luck. The car can start when the G28 is not plugged in and runs fine when it is plugged in, but still is experiencing intermittent misfires at higher RPM. The temperature sensor for the coolant (G62) shows the wrong temperature value of that is -49c even after unplugging it. Also, i noticed that the gauge for oil pressure in the cockpit shows 2 bar while the actual pressure is 0.0 when i rev the engine. I don't know what to do. I think I've all other possibilities out. I'm worried that i might have missed something. If anyone has any ideas please let me know! TIA! 3. Fuel Pump The fuel pump of the g28 receives a signal from the RPM sensor. The GM-style transmitter is similar to the G4 sender and both work on the 80,100,200, UrS, and RS2 vehicles. It is easy to find the spare in a salvage shop or parts store. It is simple to test them – just switch your DMM into resistance mode and determine the distance between pins 1 and 2 (with the bump at the connector end facing up). They must be infinite Ohms. 4. ECU The ECU of our 20vt turbo (3B AAN ABY) engines needs to know both the speed and position of the crankshaft to make decisions regarding fuel injector timing, etc. It uses a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to achieve this. If you have a problem with either of these sensors, the diagnostic scanner will show codes that could lead to an engine shutdown. A malfunctioning G28 sensor could result in an inaccurate gearbox speed counter, a gearbox that shifts more quickly than normal, and/or an unfire when in the gear. It is probable that your sensor is failing and requires to be replaced if you experience any of these signs. They are cheap and easy-to-find particularly if they're an Bosch sensor like ours. Alternatively, the GM version of this component is also a great option. 5. Tachometer A malfunctioning engine sensor can cause a variety of issues within your vehicle. It is an important part of the transmission in your Audi, as it transmits information to the ECU on how fast or slow the engine is spinning. When this sensor fails, it will cause problems for the transmission as well as the rest of the car's components. The G5 engine sensor is located near the edge of the transmission, over the flywheel ring. It transmits signals via gray wire to ECU pin T55/49. The ECU uses this signal to regulate fuel and boost, and also timig. It also transmits it to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster. You can check the sensor for failure by examining the continuity between it and the tachometer. You can also check continuity between ECU pin T55/49 and the instrument cluster connection via pin T6a/1 (trace [79trace [79]) as well as between T6a/1, and the instrument cluster pin T26a/12. You should see the resistance to be around 1000 ohms in these areas. This is a common feature across the Audi 80-100-200-RS2 series, starting beginning with the 1985 MC and up to the 1997 UrS AN and 1995 RS2 DU You may also find them in wrecking yards.
