Global Parts 1812242 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor

Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Overview

Global Parts 1812242 is an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor for select Audi and Volkswagen diesel applications. It sends accurate temperature data to the ECM so the engine management system can respond correctly across fuel, exhaust, timing, and cooling functions.

This direct replacement sensor is built to OE specifications and uses a 2-wire, female oval connector with blade terminals for a factory-style connection. It is a fitment-based replacement for Audi A6 Quattro, A7 Quattro, A8 Quattro, Q5, and Volkswagen Touareg applications listed below.

Key Features

• Part number: 1812242
• Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor for engine management systems
• Direct replacement design for OE-style fit and function
• 2-wire sensor with 2 terminals
• Oval female connector with blade-style male terminals
• Built to meet OE specifications
• Fits select Audi and Volkswagen models before the turbocharger

Detailed Description

Global Parts 1812242 is an EGT sensor used to monitor exhaust temperature and relay that information to the ECM. Accurate sensor input is important for diesel engine control strategies, especially where exhaust temperature affects emissions management and related engine functions. This sensor is a direct replacement for the original unit and is specified for before-turbo locations on the listed Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. Cross-reference part numbers include Standard Ignition ETS134 and Walker Products 273-10356 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Faulty exhaust temperature readings sent to the ECM
• Diesel engine management warning lights related to EGT sensor performance
• Incorrect fuel, exhaust, timing, or cooling system response
• Before-turbo exhaust temperature monitoring issues
• Replacement needs for a worn or failed OE sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector shape, terminal count, and before-turbo location before installation. This sensor uses a female oval connector with two wires and blade terminals, so matching the original connector style is important for proper fitment. Confirm the vehicle application by year, make, model, and build date where noted, especially for 2014-2015 Audi applications from 3/18/14.

Quality Assurance

Global Parts engine management sensors are made to deliver accurate ECM input and are manufactured as direct replacement parts that meet OE specifications. That makes 1812242 a practical replacement choice for maintaining proper exhaust temperature monitoring on the listed Audi and Volkswagen vehicles.
