The 3 Biggest Disasters In Audi G28 History

How to Replace audi replacement key In this video, Charles the humble mechanic demonstrates how to replace the G28 engine speed sensor. This sensor is located on the edge of the transmission above the flywheel ring gear. It transmits a signal the ECU via a grey wire (T55/49) and then to the tachometer in the instrument cluster. 1. Engine Speed Sensor The sensor is located at the edge of the transmission, above the flywheel ring gear G28 Engine Speed Sensor sends signals to ECU pin T55/49 using a grey wire. The ECU then uses this information to control fuel, timig and boost. It also sends an alert 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 be aware of when the crankshaft has reached TDC, and where the camshaft lies to trigger the spark and injectors. If this sensor fails, the ECU will display an error code P00160. This indicates that the Crank Shaft is out of alignment with the Intake Camshaft. It could also be a sign of an issue with the chain or a jumped chain link in the upper chain. The code won't appear without the additional information supplied by other sensors (G4 or G40). Testing can be a bit difficult because there are two connector pins and they serve different purposes but the most effective way to test it is to measure resistance between the sensor and the ECU. It should read around 1000 ohms when it is at full operation. If you're experiencing issues with this component, look for signs of oil or coolant in the connector bay. 2. Injectors Yesterday, while accelerating at full speed from the highway paytoll i had an abrupt drop in power like the engine is out of gas or injectors are not firing at all. In the morning, i removed the spark plugs. Three were drenched with gazoline the fourth was dry. When i crank the engine without sparks, i place a tissue on the top of each of the injector holes and the 3 drenched with gazoline jump out but the 4th stays closed. I checked the ground connection of ECU pins 14,30 and 48/55. I found zero ohm. I'm assuming the issue is in another place. I also tried to reset the PID but with no luck. The car will start when the G28 is disconnected, but it runs fine with the G28 connected. However, the intermittent misfire problem continues to occur at higher RPM. The temperature sensor for coolant (G62) shows the wrong temperature value of -49c even when i unplug it. I also noticed that the oil gauge in the cockpit shows 2 bars but the actual pressure is 0. I don't know what to do. I feel like i've pretty much ruled everything else out. But i'm worried that I may have missed something. Please let me know If you have any suggestions! TIA! 3. Fuel Pump The fuel pump in the g28 is activated by a signal sent from the RPM sensor. The GM-style sensor is identical to the G4 and both are used in the 80, 100, 200, UrS and RS2 cars so you can easily find one at a wrecking yard or from a 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 at the connector end facing upwards). They should be infinite ohms. 4. ECU Our 20vt turbo (3B AAN, ABY and ADU) engines are equipped with an ECU that has to know the speed and position of the crankshaft to make decisions regarding fuel injector timing etc. It utilizes a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to accomplish this. If either of these go bad you will get codes on the diagnostic scanner that can lead to engine shutdown. The signs of a malfunctioning G28 sensor are an inaccurate gearbox rev counter and gears that shift faster than normal and/or misfiring when you are in gear. It is probable that the sensor is failing and needs to be replaced if you encounter any of these signs. They're inexpensive and easy to locate particularly in the case of an Bosch unit like ours. Alternatively, the GM version of this part is also a great option. 5. Tachometer A malfunctioning engine speed sensor could be the cause of a slew of issues in your vehicle. It is an important part of the transmission of your Audi since it sends information to the ECU regarding how fast or slow the engine of the car is turning. This sensor could cause the transmission to malfunction and other components in the car to be affected. The G5 engine speed sensor is situated on the outside of the transmission above the flywheel ring gear. It transmits a signal to the ECU at pin T55/49 via a grey wire. The ECU uses this signal to control the flow of fuel and boost and also timig. It also transmits it to the G5 Tachometer inside the instrument cluster. You can check for sensor failure by examining the 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 [79]), and between pin T6a/1 as well as pin T26a/12. You should observe approximately 1000 ohms resistance between these two points. This is a standard part that is found across the Audi 80, 100, 200, UrS and RS2 range from 1985 MC to the 1997 UrS AAN and 1995 RS2 ADU. Good parts could be found in wrecking yards.
