Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor for Volkswagen Passat

Global Parts 1812258 is an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor built for direct replacement service on select Volkswagen Passat applications. It sends accurate temperature data to the ECM, helping the engine management system monitor exhaust conditions and maintain proper control of fuel, timing, cooling, and emissions functions.

Key Features

• Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) sensor for emission control applications
• Direct replacement design for OE-style service
• Blade terminals with a 2-wire layout
• Oval female connector with male terminals
• Built to meet OE specifications for fit and function
• Fits 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat, before catalyst

Detailed Description

This Global Parts EGT sensor, part number 1812258, is engineered for accurate exhaust temperature feedback to the ECM. The sensor uses a 2-wire configuration with blade terminals, a 2-terminal oval connector, and female connector housing with male terminals for a direct replacement installation on the specified Volkswagen Passat before-catalyst location. This part cross-references Standard Ignition ETS151 for the same application.

For drivers searching for a 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat exhaust gas temperature sensor before catalyst, or a Volkswagen Passat EGT sensor replacement, this unit provides the OE-style electrical and connector layout needed for proper system communication. The part number 1812258 is also referenced in interchange listings for related OE and aftermarket applications.

What It Helps Address

• Faulty exhaust temperature readings sent to the ECM
• Check engine lights related to EGT sensor performance
• Incorrect fuel, timing, or cooling system response tied to sensor input
• Emission control issues caused by inaccurate exhaust monitoring
• Replacement needs for a worn or failed before-catalyst sensor

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the connector shape, terminal count, and wire count before installation. This sensor is specified for the before-catalyst position on 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat models, so verify the original sensor location and connector style against the vehicle before replacement. Inspect the harness and connector for heat damage or corrosion before installing the new sensor.
