This was really informative. Great job. A little confusing, but great none the less. I would have never looked for a belt for the water pump in the back of the engine. Never. I'm saving this video since my grandson just got a car with one of these runs in it.
@@motorcarnut do you know if anyone makes a video of the coil and plug replacement for these engines? The one he has looks like it has 2 sensors per cylinder. I don't recognize what I'm looking at. Mine is so much simpler.
Would either one of the coolant sensors cause a CEL light to come on when using the heater? Got a p8577 code. Thanks. Also, should both sensors be replaced?
That code is for the coolant system, not necessarily because you are using the heater. Could the the coolant temp sensor, wiring to and from the sensor, or a bad thermostat .
what's the black plastic cover to the left of the crankshaft sensor (1:04)? It has a number of torx screws holding it on. I have some oil leaking out of the bottom of that area. Thanks for pointing everything out.
Hay man I may be slow or what not but I got a 2008 Audi a3 with this engine and I’m having the throttle positioning censor code and really struggle to find it
Could you tell me where the thermostats is located? Also, im replacing my ECT sensor on my 2013, vw cc. I read the other comments, is there always two sensors?
So close to what I was looking for. I can see the plug for the waste gate position sensor plug. I had to replace the wiring harness after a raccoon ate it. What does the other end connect to (I know where it connects to the waste gate actuator, where does the other end go)
The raccoon ate all but about 1” from the position sensor on the wastegate actuator itself. I don’t know where the corresponding end even connects to for me to pull and repairs it. The engine is still in the engine bay so it’s a tiny space. I can’t really get a good look around I’ve searched for days. Can’t find any of the wiring diagrams 🤷🏻♂️
Wow motorcarnut you really answer all questions.. it’s old post so response totally understand .. have 2006 Vw Passat 2.0t and car starts good runs good but seems after awhile it stalls and does and if I give it 20-1 hour starts back up .. maybe worse as wetjer gets hot .. researching seems maybe low or high pressure fuel sensor .. what’s your professional opinion?
@@motorcarnut green plug? The engine compartment is really dirty in my 2003 VW beetle 1.8l and I cannot find the knock sensors to save my life, specifically the bank 1 (sensor 1). Other youtube videos mix up the terms crankshaft and knock sensors which doesn't help because my crankshaft sensor is now unplugged... There is a video out there on 2008 vw beetle knock sensors but I cannot distinguish if 2003 knock sensors are located in the same place. Help!
@@motorcarnut Thats not specific at all. I don't know if you are trying to be funny or what. I found both, there are two. One is on the backside of the engine block which is largely inaccessible and the other is under the intake manifold and you don't have to remove the intake manifold to get to that knock sensor. You just have to put the front of the vehicle on a ramp and then you can access the knock sensor and also the camshaft sensor.
Where is the thermostat switch... NOT sensor? I'm surprised how little people talk about this since this is what would cause a stuck open or closed coolant path situation. Thanks for the video and any help. My intake manifold is currently off the vehicle Will this make reaching said switch easier?
I’ll be waiting have the new oem turbo coming in this week but I’m also looking to replace my catalytic converter and I’m wondering if the cats from a 2008 Passat 2.0t are compatible with my 2009 Passat Komfort 2.0t?

I don't have that vehicle in my repair system because it's not sold in the US. Seems like an awesome car! Just follow the the inlet pipe from the boost side on the turbo all the way to the throttle body. Or if not there on the intake manifold there will be a couple of sensors, just search online for the correct part and compare it to the ones on the manifold.

Can you tell me where the turbo boost pressure sensor might be ? I just got a PO 236 error code
It's on the turbo near the passenger side frame, better access if from underneath the vehicle.
Thank you very much ! Good luck to you
No problem! Thank you
P256300- Turbocharger Boost Control Position Sensor Circuit. Range/Performance. Do i have to replace the wastegate actuator?
Sounds like a wiring problem or the sensor itself
Does tbis engine has a map sensor ? If so , where is it located ?
No , it uses a Mass air flow sensor located right after the air filter.
Hay man I may be slow or what not but I got a 2008 Audi a3 with this engine and I’m having the throttle positioning censor code and really struggle to find it
It can be the throttle body itself that’s bad or the wiring circuit

Question sir, for replacement of the coolant sensor next to the water pump, can it be reached and replaced without removing the intake manifold?
Yes, but difficult
How many camshaft position sensors does a 2017 Audi A6 2.0T have
One
@Motorcarnut thanks I changed it with a audi sensor, but I'm still getting a code for the camshaft sensor
You have to check the valve timing and the oil control valve. These cars control valve timing with oil .

Oil temperature sensor ?
If your particular vehicle has one it will be incorporated with the oil level sensor on the bottom of the oil pan.
Are there two coolants sensors? 14 jetta gli 2.0t in question
Yes, one is on the lower large coolant hose right near radiator and the other one is underneath the intake manifold, hard to get at.
Is it the same place for Volkswagen Passat 1.4 TSI 2010? I need to change crankshaft on mine.
It’s a different engine but should be in the same general areas.
Does this apply to a 2015 audi s3 2.0t tfsi?
It's a little different but should be close

Its on the left side of the water pump under the intake manifold, its pretty buried.
HI, thanks for the info but you missed 2, bottom of oil pan and there's 1 next to crank pully above the sump do you know what that's called

Hi! Where is the Oil temp. sensor? On the Oil pan?
Near oil filter
where is the Knock sensor located?
On the engine block near left side of water pump under intake manifold.
@ awesome! Thank you!!!
@SaltyTortillas no problem
I have a 2010 Jetta 2.0 tsi, I’m having trouble finding the location of the boost sensor
On the back of turbo near passenger side rail
2014 cc tsi 2.0 can I swap the engine for 2014 Passat tsi 1.8
I’m not sure, I don’t change engines that were not originally installed
I can't find anything about the 8 sensors above the turbo in the heads. They look like injectors but are not. What the heck are those things?
What year make and engine?
Where is the knock sensor? What do I need to remove to replace it?
It’s under the water pump extremely hard to get to without removing the water pump if I remember correctly and a 10mm triple square socket
whats the easiest way to replace the coolant sensor?
Underneath the car, it's on the lower radiator hose mid way up.
and thats the one next to the water pump or under the intake because theres two sensors i already changed out (G83) and now just need to change (G62)
Which one did you replace? The one on the water pump housing or the pipe?
@@motorcarnuti replaced the one on the the pipe i just need to replace the one on the water pump. I have access to it now, i removed some things to access it but i ran into an issue. Are both sensors the same ? the one next to the water pump the same than the one on the hose? if i purchase the same one i used for the hose can i use it for the one next to the water pump?
I believe they are different, should have a part number on the sensor itself.
Coolant Sensor ?
One is on the water pump housing and the second one is on the lower radiator hose.
Map sensor?
Located on the turbo intercooler pipe that goes in the throttle body
Where is the turbo sensor located
What turbo sensor?
isn’t there two camshaft sensors ?
Not on the 2.0 TSI engine
Where the map sensor?
That engine uses a Mass Airflow Sensor ( MAF ) not a MAP. It’s located on the air intake tube between the throttle body and air filter housing.
@@motorcarnut I’ve got a seat Leon cupra 280 and I can’t find the location of a map sensor.
