One Of The Most Innovative Things That Are Happening With Audi G28
How to Replace audi replacement key uk In this video, Charles the humble mechanic demonstrates how to replace the G28 engine speed sensor. This sensor is located at the edge of transmission, above the flywheel gear. It sends a message to the ECU via the grey wire T55/49 and then to the tachometer in the instrument cluster. 1. Engine Speed Sensor The grey wire is situated on the outside of the transmission, just above the flywheel ring. The sensor sends a signal via the grey wire to pin T55/49. The ECU utilizes this information to regulate boost and fuel. It also sends an indication to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster. The sensor serves as a reference point to connect with the G40 Camshaft Position Sensor. The ecu needs to know when the crankshaft reached TDC and also the location of the camshaft to trigger the spark and injectors. If this sensor fails the ECU will show a P00160 code which means the Crank Shaft and Intake Camshaft are out of sync and possibly indicating the chain is stretched or a jump link on the upper timing chain. The code will not appear without the additional information provided by other sensors (G4 or G40). Testing is a bit tricky because there are two connector pins, and they serve different purposes however the best method to test it is by measuring resistance between the sensor and the ECU. When the sensor is functional, it should read approximately 1000 ohms. If you are having problems with this component, look for signs of coolant or oil in the connector bay. 2. Injectors Yesterday, when accelerating from highway paytoll at full speed I noticed a massive drop in power. It was like the engine was running out of gas. Or, my injectors weren't firing. In the morning, i removed the spark plugs, 3 were soaked with gazoline and the fourth was dry. When i crank the engine, there are no sparks i put tissue on the top of each of the injector holes, the 3 drenched with gazoline pop out, but the 4th stay closed. I checked the ground connection on ECU pins 14/55, 30/55 and 48/55. i get 0ohm. I think the issue is somewhere else. I also tried to reset the PID without success. The car can start if the G28 is not plugged in and is running fine when it is connected but it still has intermittent misfire issues at higher RPM. The coolant sensor (G62) even when unplugged, still shows temperatures of -49c. I also noticed that the oil gauge in the cockpit shows 2 bar but the actual pressure is zero. I'm not certain what to do, i think i've pretty much eliminated everything else. I'm concerned that i may have missed something. Let me know if you have any ideas! TIA! 3. Fuel Pump The fuel pump of the g28 gets a signal from the RPM sensor. The GM-style transmitter is the same as the G4 and both function in the 80 100 200, UrS and RS2 cars so you can easily find one at a junkyard or from a parts store. It is simple to test them – put your DMM in resistance mode and measure the resistance between pins 1 (with the bump on the connector's side up) and 2 (2nd from left on the black connector's side). They must be infinite ohms. 4. ECU The ECU in our 20vt turbo (3B AAN ABY) engines requires to be aware of the position and speed the crankshaft in order to make a decision about timing of the fuel injector, etc. In order to do this it utilizes a Crank Position Sensor (G4) and an Engine Speed Sensor (G28). If either of these go badly, you will see codes on the diagnostic scanner which can cause the engine to shut down. The signs of a malfunctioning G28 sensor are an inaccurate gearbox rev counter, gears shifting quicker than normal, and/or a misfire when you are in gear. If you have any of these issues it is most likely that your sensor is failing and needs replacing. They are cheap and easy-to-find especially when they're a Bosch unit like ours. You can also choose the GM version of this unit is also a good choice. 5. Tachometer A malfunctioning engine speed sensor could be the cause of a slew of problems in your vehicle. It is a crucial part of the Audi's transmission as it sends information to the ECU about how fast or slow the car's crankshaft is turning. If the sensor fails, it can affect the performance of the transmission as well as the other car's components. The G5 engine sensor is located near the edge of transmission, above the flywheel ring. It transmits a signal via an uncolored wire to the ECU pin T55/49. The ECU then processes the signal to control fuel, timig and boost as well as sends it on to the G5 tachometer in the instrument cluster. You can check for sensor failure by checking continuity from the sensor to the tachometer. Also, you can verify continuity between pin T55/49 of the ECU and pin T6a/1 of the instrument cluster (trace [79trace [79]) and between pin T6a/1 as well as pin T26a/12. You should see a resistance of approximately 1000 ohms in these areas. This is the same across the Audi 80-100-200-RS2 series, starting beginning with the 1985 MC and up to the 1997 UrS An and 1995 RS2 Du, so you might find them in wrecking yards.
