What NOT To Do With The Audi G28 Industry
How to Replace an Audi G28 Engine Speed Sensor In this video, Charles the Humble Mechanic shows how to replace the G28 engine speed sensor. The sensor is situated near the edges of the transmission just above the flywheel ring gear. It transmits a signal the ECU via the grey wire (T55/49) which is then sent to the tachometer located in the instrument cluster. 1. Engine Speed Sensor The grey wire is situated at the edges of the transmission, just above the flywheel ring. This sensor sends a signal via the grey wire to pin T55/49. The ECU then uses this information to control the boost, fuel, and timig. It also sends a signal to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster. The sensor is used as a reference for comparing with the G40 Camshaft Position Sensor. The ecu has to be aware of when the crankshaft has reached TDC, and the location of the camshaft in order to activate the spark and injectors. If this sensor fails when it fails, the ECU will display an error code P00160. This means that the Crank Shaft is out of sync with the Intake Camshaft. It could also indicate the possibility of a chain stretch or jump in the chain link of the upper chain. However, the code won't appear on its own, without additional information from other sensors (G4 and G40). Testing is a bit tricky since there are two connector pins, and they perform different functions but the best way to test it is by measuring resistance between the sensor and the ECU. When the sensor is operational, it should be reading about 1000 ohms. If you're experiencing issues with this sensor, look for evidence of coolant or oil in the connector bay. 2. Injectors Yesterday accelerating full speed from highway paytoll, i experienced massive power loss like the engine is out of gas or the injectors are not firing anymore. I pulled out the spark plugs this morning, 3 were soaked in gasoline, and the 4th was dry. When I crank the engine with no sparks, i place a tissue on top of each injector hole and the 3 drenched with gazoline pop out, but the 4th stays shut. I checked the ground connection of ECU pins 14,30 and 48/55. I found zero ohm. I think the issue is elsewhere. I also tried to reset PID without success. The car is able to start when the G28 is not plugged in and it runs perfectly when it is connected however it has the intermittent misfire issue at higher RPM. The temperature sensor for the coolant (G62) shows the wrong temp value -49c even when 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 crank up the engine. I'm not sure what to do. I think I've all other possibilities out. But i'm worried that i might have missed something. If anyone has any ideas please share them! TIA! 3. Fuel Pump The fuel pump in the g28 can be activated by 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 which is why you can easily locate one at a salvage yard or at a parts store. It is easy to test them – simply switch your DMM into resistance mode and test the distance between pins 1 and 2 (with the bump at the connector's end facing upwards). They must 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 in order to make a decision about fuel injector timing etc. To do this, it makes use of a Crank Position Sensor (G4) and an Engine Speed Sensor (G28). If you have a problem with either of these sensors, the diagnostic scanner will display the codes that could trigger an engine shutdown. A malfunctioning G28 sensor could result in an inaccurate speed counter for the gearbox, a gearbox that shifts faster than normal, and/or an unfire when in the gear. If you have any of these issues it is most likely that your sensor is going bad and requires replacement. They are cheap and easy-to-find particularly if they're a Bosch sensor like ours. Alternately, the GM version of this component is also a great option. 5. audi advanced key G28 Car Keys failing engine sensor could cause a variety of issues within your vehicle. It's an essential component of the Audi's transmission since it relays information to the ECU about how the car's crankshaft is spinning. This sensor can cause the transmission to malfunction and other car components to be affected. The G5 engine sensor is located near the edge of the transmission, over the flywheel ring. It transmits signals via a gray wire to the ECU pin T55/49. The ECU is then able to process this signal to control the flow of fuel, timig and boost and then transmitting it to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster. You can determine if the sensor is in 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 [79]) and between pin T6a/1 as well as pin T26a/12. It should show approximately 1000 ohms resistance between those points. This is a common feature 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 You may also find them in wrecking yards.
