Delphi TS30181 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor - After Particulate Filter
Overview of Delphi TS30181 Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor
The Delphi TS30181 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor is designed for precise temperature monitoring in the exhaust system of select Audi and Volkswagen models. Engineered to withstand temperatures up to 850°C, this sensor ensures reliable performance in demanding emission control applications.
- Maximum temperature rating of 850°C for high-heat environments
- 48.03-inch wiring harness length for flexible installation
- Threaded nut mounting type for secure attachment
- Blade terminal type with 2 terminals (male) and oval female connector
- Positioned after the particulate filter for accurate exhaust gas temperature readings
Technical Details and Compatibility
The Delphi TS30181 sensor features a durable design with a threaded nut mounting system, allowing for stable installation in the exhaust stream after the particulate filter. Its 48.03-inch wiring harness provides ample length for routing within the engine bay, while the blade terminals and oval female connector ensure a secure electrical connection. This sensor is specifically compatible with Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg models, making it a suitable replacement part for emission control systems in these vehicles.
Function and Application
This exhaust gas temperature sensor is critical for monitoring the temperature of exhaust gases after the particulate filter, helping to optimize engine performance and emissions control. It addresses several common issues, including:
- Preventing damage from excessive exhaust temperatures
- Ensuring accurate temperature data for engine management systems
- Supporting proper operation of diesel particulate filters (DPF)
- Reducing the risk of emission system faults and warning lights
- Maintaining compliance with emission regulations
Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Delphi TS30181 sensor, ensure the threaded nut is securely tightened to prevent exhaust leaks. Verify the wiring harness length is sufficient for your vehicle’s layout and confirm the blade terminals are properly connected to avoid electrical issues. Installation after the particulate filter is essential for accurate temperature measurement. Refer to the included instruction sheet for detailed guidance.
