Global Parts 1812234 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor

Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Overview

Global Parts 1812234 is an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor built for direct replacement service on select Volkswagen and Audi diesel applications. It sends accurate temperature data to the ECM so the engine management system can maintain proper control of fuel, exhaust, timing, and cooling functions.

With a 2-wire design, oval female connector, blade terminals, and OE-style terminal layout, this sensor is built for straightforward replacement on vehicles such as the Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen Golf, Audi A3, Audi A4, and Audi A5.

Key Features

• Exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor for engine management and emissions control
• Direct replacement design that meets OE specifications
• 2-wire configuration with oval female connector
• Blade terminal type with 2 terminals
• Male terminal gender for secure electrical connection
• Supports accurate ECM input for exhaust temperature monitoring
• Global Parts part number 1812234 for catalog and service reference

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1812234 is engineered as an OE-style exhaust gas temperature sensor for vehicles that rely on precise exhaust temperature feedback. By reporting accurate data to the ECM, the sensor helps the vehicle manage fuel delivery, exhaust strategy, ignition timing, and cooling response. This makes it a practical replacement for service work on Volkswagen Jetta and Volkswagen Golf models, as well as Audi A3, Audi A4, and Audi A5 applications listed below.

This part cross-references Dorman OE Solutions 904-723 for the same application. It also cross-references Standard Ignition ETS126 and Walker Products 273-10042.
