I want you to know that you are very much appreciated, my friend. Your video is filled with so much useful information, I have the exact same problem and I wouldn't of found the problem if it wasn't for you. Thanks for explaining as you went along. By far the best passat video. 👍
Got similar on my 1.6tdi passat. It’s sensor 4 which is also a right pain to get at. I’m too old to be lying on my back under cars these days so it’s gonna have to go into the garage to be fixed.
If you place a potentiometer (variable resistor) connected to the pins to the computer, you can increase/decrease the resistance and the temp should fluctuate on the scan tool. I wanted to fix this myself, but when I found out where this sensor is located, I decided to just set up an appointment and have a real mechanic do that work. I have no idea why VW made this so damn difficult to get to? I don't have a lift to do this work. Since the appointment is a month out, I just put the new sensor on, and tied it around some other cables. I know that the EGT before the turbo isn't 930 C. The melting point of aluminum is 660 C. Since my whole engine block isn't red hot, I know that's a false reading. Just need to trick out the sensor until I can get it fixed. This is just what I decided to do. Maybe not your choice, but you can decide. Addendum: In my case, I couldn't get my vehicle into the shop for a couple of weeks, so I just hooked the new sensor up and laid it under the engine cover, hoping that some heat would get to it. After driving it for a while, it popped a P2080 Exhaust Gas code and a P244C Manufacturer Control code. The ECU is not getting a temperature that makes sense (probably only about 80 C in that location) so that's a Low Exhaust Gas Temp. If the sensor was installed, the EGT should be in the 240 C range. I'm sure the logic wants to see correlation with all the sensors. But at least I don't get the Limp Home Mode (flashing glow plug light). There's nothing actually wrong with the vehicle except the bad sensor. So I will have to get by with those codes until the shop can install the new sensor.
My daughter has the same issue only the battery light is on along with the pedal compressor light. This happened when her father attempted to attach the battery….he touch the negative post to the positive and vice versa

Hello Is it possible that because of this sensor..the temperature will appear minus?


@mihaip5459 it could be!
Great 🎉
@professordexter Thanks!
what size key did you use to remove the temperature sensor.
@nickdzhuga2036 I believe it was a 17mm nut
Hey also another question so I replaced the sensor, however more lights appeared in the dash. Is this normal?
