What's The Job Market For Audi G28 Professionals? 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 located on the outside of the transmission just above the flywheel gear. It transmits a signal the ECU via an uncolored wire (T55/49), then to the tachometer in the instrument cluster. 1. Engine Speed Sensor The grey wire is located on the outside of the transmission, just above the flywheel ring. The sensor sends an electrical signal through the grey wire to pin T55/49. The ECU then uses this information to control the flow of fuel, timig and boost. It also sends an indication to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster. The sensor is used to correlate with the G40 Camshaft position Sensor. The ecu must be aware when the crankshaft is TDC and where the camshaft is so it can trigger spark and injectors in the right way. If this sensor fails when it fails, the ECU will display a P00160 error code. This means that the Crank Shaft is out of sync with the Intake Camshaft. It could also be a sign of the possibility of a chain stretch or jumped chain link in the upper chain of timing. The code will not appear without the additional information supplied by other sensors (G4 or G40). It can be a bit difficult to test since there are various pins on the connector and each has its own functions. linked web-site to do it is by measuring the resistance between the ECU and the sensor. It should read about 1000 ohms when the sensor is in full operation. Check for evidence of coolant or oil in the connector bay if you are experiencing issues with this component. 2. Injectors Yesterday, when accelerating from highway paytoll at a high speed, i noticed a huge drop in power. It was as if the engine had run out of gas. Or my injectors weren't firing. I pulled out the spark plugs this morning, three were soaked with gasoline and the fourth was dry. I put tissue over each injector hole, and when I start the engine without sparks, the three with gazoline jump right out. The 4th one remains shut. I tested the ground connection on ECU pins 14/55, 30/55 and 48/55. i get 0ohm. I think the issue is elsewhere. I also tried to reset the PID but without success. The car will start when the G28 is disconnected, but it runs fine with the G28 connected. However the intermittent misfire issue still occurs at higher RPM. The coolant sensor (G62) even when unplugged, still shows a temperature of -49c. I also noticed that the oil gauge in the cockpit shows 2 bar when the actual pressure is zero. 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 suggestions, please let me know! TIA! 3. Fuel Pump The fuel pump on the g28 is activated by a signal sent from the RPM sensor. The GM-style sender is identical to the G4 and they both work in the 80, 100 200, UrS and RS2 cars which is why you can easily locate one at a junkyard or at a parts store. It is simple to test them: simply switch your DMM into resistance mode and measure the distance between pins 1 and 2 (with the bump at the connector end facing upwards). They must be infinite Ohms. 4. ECU The ECU of our 20vt turbo (3B AAN ABY ADU) engines needs to be aware of the speed and position of the crankshaft in order to make a decision about timing of fuel injectors, etc. It uses a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to achieve this. If you encounter a problem with either one of these, the diagnostic scanner will show codes that could lead to an engine shutdown. The signs of a malfunctioning G28 sensor are an inaccurate gearbox rev counter, gears shifting quicker than normal and/or a misfire when in gear. If replacement key for audi a4 are experiencing any of these issues, it is most likely that your sensor is deteriorating and requires replacement. The good news is that they are quite affordable and easily accessible particularly in the case of a Bosch unit which is what ours are. Alternatively, the GM version of this component is also a good choice. 5. Tachometer A malfunctioning engine sensor can cause a number of problems within your vehicle. It's an essential component of your Audi's transmission, because it communicates to the ECU about how fast or slow the car's crankshaft is rotating. This sensor could cause the transmission to malfunction and other components of the car to be affected. The G5 engine sensor is located near the edge of the transmission, just above the flywheel ring. It transmits an electrical signal through a gray wire to the ECU pin T55/49. The ECU uses this signal to control fuel and boost, and also to timigrate. It also transmits it to the G5 Tachometer inside the instrument cluster. You can check for sensor failure by checking continuity from the sensor to the tachometer. Also, you can examine the continuity between pins T55/49 of the ECU and pin T6a/1 of the instrument cluster (trace [79]), and between pin T6a/1 and pin T26a/12. There should be an average resistance of 1000 ohms between these two points. This is a common feature across the Audi 80-100-200-RS2 series, starting from the 1985 MC up to the 1997 UrS AN and 1995 RS2 Du You may also find some good ones in wrecking yards.
