Three Of The Biggest Catastrophes In Audi G28 History

How to Replace an Audi G28 Engine Speed Sensor Charles the Humble Technician shows you how to replace the G28 Engine Speed Sensor. The sensor is located at the top of the transmission, above the flywheel ring gear. It transmits a signal to the ECU via a grey wire (T55/49) and then to the tachometer in the instrument cluster. 1. Engine Speed Sensor The grey wire is located on the outside of the transmission, above the flywheel ring. This sensor sends a signal via the grey wire to pin T55/49. The ECU uses this information to regulate boost and fuel. It also sends an indicator to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster. The sensor is used to correlate with the G40 Camshaft position Sensor. The ecu needs to know when the crankshaft is TDC and the location of the camshaft so it can trigger spark and injectors according to the situation. If this sensor fails, the ECU will display the P00160 error, which means the Crank Shaft and Intake Camshaft are out of sync, possibly indicating chain stretch or a jumped link on the upper chain of timing. However, the error code won't appear on its own without additional information from other sensors (G4 and G40). Testing is a bit challenging since there are two connector pins and they serve different purposes but the most effective method to test it is to measure resistance between the sensor and the ECU. It should read around 1000 ohms when the sensor is in full operation. Examine for evidence of coolant or oil in the connector bay if you have issues with this part. 2. Injectors Yesterday, when i was accelerating to the fullest speed from highway paytoll i had a big cut in power like the engine is out of gas or the injectors aren't firing anymore. I took out the spark plugs this morning and found that 3 were drenched in gasoline and the 4th was dry. When I crank the engine, there are no sparks, I put a piece of tissue on the top of each hole in the injector and the 3 that were drenched in gazoline pop out, but the 4th one stays closed. I inspected the ground connection on ECU pins 14/55/30/55/48/55/14/55/48/ I got zero Ohm. I'm assuming the issue is somewhere else. I also tried to reset the PID but without success. The car will start when the G28 is unplugged, and it runs fine with the G28 plugged in. However, the intermittent misfire problem continues to occur at higher RPM. The temperature sensor for the coolant (G62) shows the wrong temperature of -49c, even if I unplug it. Also i noticed that the gauge for oil pressure in the cockpit shows 2 bar, whereas the actual pressure is 0.0 when i rev the engine. I'm not certain what to do, but i think i've pretty much ruled out everything else. I'm concerned that i may have missed something. If anyone has suggestions, please chime in! TIA! 3. Fuel Pump The fuel pump of the g28 gets a signal from the RPM sensor. The GM-style transmitter functions similarly to the G4 sender, and both operate on the 80,100,200, UrS, and RS2 vehicles. You can easily find a spare in a wrecking shop or parts store. It is easy to test them: simply switch your DMM into resistance mode and measure the distance between pins 1 and 2 (with the bump on the connector's edge facing upwards). They should be infinite Ohms. 4. ECU The ECU in our 20vt turbo (3B AAN ABY) engines requires to know the speed and position of the crankshaft to determine timing of the fuel injector, etc. To accomplish this, it makes use of a Crank Position Sensor (G4) and an Engine Speed Sensor (G28). If you encounter a problem with either of these, the diagnostic scanner will show the codes that could trigger the engine shutting down. A malfunctioning G28 sensor could cause an inaccurate speed counter for the gearbox and a gearbox which shifts more quickly than normal, and/or a misfire in the gear. If you have any of these problems, it is likely your sensor is deteriorating and needs replacing. They are cheap and easy-to-find, especially when they're an Bosch unit like ours. Alternately, the GM version of this component is also a good choice. 5. www.g28carkeys.co.uk could be the reason behind many issues with your vehicle. It is an important part of the transmission of your Audi, as it transmits information to the ECU about how fast or slowly the engine of the car is spinning. This sensor can cause the transmission to fail and other components of the car to be affected. The G5 engine speed sensor is located on the outside of the transmission, above the flywheel ring gear and transmits a signal to the ECU at pin T55/49, via an uncolored wire. The ECU uses this signal to control the amount of fuel and boost, and also timig. It also transmits it to the G5 Tachometer inside the instrument cluster. You can check the sensor for failure by checking continuity between it and the tachometer, between ECU pin T55/49 and the instrument cluster connection via pin T6a/1 (trace [79]) and between T6a/1 and the instrument cluster pin T26a/12. You should see approximately 1000 ohms resistance between those two pins. This is the same across the Audi 80-100-200-RS2 range, from the 1985 MC up to the 1997 UrS AN and 1995 RS2 DU, so you might find good ones in wrecking yards.
