The Most Prevalent Issues In Audi G28

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 edge of transmission just above the flywheel gear. It transmits a signal to the ECU through an uncolored wire T55/49, then to the tachometer on the instrument cluster. 1. Engine Speed Sensor The grey wire is located at the edges of the transmission, above the flywheel ring. The sensor transmits signals through the grey wire to pin T55/49. The ECU then utilizes this information to regulate the boost, fuel, and timig. It also sends an alert to the G5 Tachometer in instrument cluster. The sensor is used as a reference for comparing with the G40 Camshaft Position Sensor. The ecu must know when the crankshaft is TDC and the location of the camshaft so it can activate spark and injectors in the right way. If this sensor fails when it fails, the ECU will display a P00160 error code. This indicates that the Crank Shaft is not in sync with the Intake Camshaft. It could also indicate a chain stretch or a jumped chain link in the upper timing chain. However, the error 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 connector pins and they have different functions however the best method of testing it is to measure resistance between the sensor and the ECU. When the sensor is fully functional, it should read approximately 1000 ohms. If you are having problems with this part, check for evidence of coolant or oil in the connector bay. 2. Injectors Yesterday, when i was accelerating to the fullest speed from highway paytoll i had massive power loss like the engine is out of gas or the injectors aren't firing anymore. This morning i pull out the spark plugs, 3 were drenched in gazoline, the fourth was dry. I put tissue over each hole in the injector and when i turn the engine on without sparks, the three with gazoline jump right out. The 4th one stays closed. I checked the ground connection on ECU pins 14/55,30/55 and 48/55 I got zero ohm. I assume that the problem is elsewhere. I also tried to reset the PID but with no luck. The car is able to start if the G28 is unplugged and runs fine when it is plugged in but it still is experiencing intermittent misfires at higher RPM. The coolant sensor (G62) even when it is unplugged, shows a temperature of -49c. I also noticed that the oil gauge in the cockpit shows 2 bar while the actual pressure is zero. I'm not sure what to do. I believe that I've all other possibilities out. However, i'm afraid that I might have missed something. If anyone has any suggestions, please share them! TIA! 3. audi a3 key replacement near me of the g28 receives a signal from the RPM sensor. The GM-style transmitter is similar to the G4 sender and works on the 80,100,200, UrS, and RS2 vehicles. It is easy to find a spare in a wrecking shop or parts store. It is simple to test them by putting your DMM in resistance mode and take measurements between pins 1 (with the bump on the connector's side up) and 2 (2nd from left on the black end of the connector). They should be infinite Ohms. 4. ECU The ECU in our 20vt turbo (3B AAN ABY ADU) engines must know both the position and speed of the crankshaft in order to make a decision about fuel injector timing, etc. It uses a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to accomplish this. If you are experiencing issues with either of these, the diagnostic scanner will display the codes that could trigger the engine shutting down. A failing G28 sensor can cause an inaccurate speed counter for your gearbox and a gearbox which shifts more quickly than normal, and/or a misfire in gear. It is possible that your sensor is failing and requires to be replaced if you encounter any of these signs. They're cheap and easy to find particularly if they're a Bosch model like ours. You can also choose the GM version of this part is also a good option. 5. Tachometer A malfunctioning engine sensor can cause a variety of issues in your car. It is a crucial part of your Audi's transmission, because it communicates to the ECU about how the car's crankshaft is rotating. This sensor can cause the transmission to malfunction and other car components to be affected. The G5 engine speed sensor is located at the edge 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 is then able to process the signal to control the flow of fuel, timig and boost and then sends it on to the G5 tachometer inside the instrument cluster. You can test the sensor for any failure by checking the continuity between it and the tachometer, between the ECU pin T55/49 and the instrument cluster connection via pin T6a/1 (trace [79]) and between pin T6a/1 and the instrument cluster pin T26a/12. You should observe around 1000 ohms of resistance between those points. This is a common part that is found across the Audi 80, 100, 200, UrS and RS2 range from 1985 MC until the 1997 UrS AAN and 1995 RS2 ADU so good parts could be found in wrecking yards.
