Product Details

HELLA 014494261 is an exhaust gas temperature sensor used in emission control systems to report exhaust temperature data to the vehicle’s control strategy. For Volkswagen Jetta models, this sensor is listed for 2005-2006 applications, including 2006 vehicles before and after chassis/VIN 1K-6-855 694/695 as noted in the fitment data. The HELLA line is used for direct replacement needs where the original sensor uses a 2-pin, bolted design and a 660 mm lead length. This part cross-references Bosch 68001 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Fault codes related to exhaust temperature sensor performance
• Incorrect exhaust temperature readings in the emissions system
• Diesel aftertreatment or engine management monitoring issues
• Sensor circuit problems tied to a 2-pole connector layout
• Replacement needs for a worn or damaged EGT sensor on a Volkswagen Jetta

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, cable length, and bolted mounting location before installation. On 2006 Volkswagen Jetta vehicles, confirm the chassis/VIN break listed in the fitment notes to match the correct application. Inspect the harness routing and exhaust-side mounting point for heat damage or corrosion before installing HELLA 014494261.

Quality Assurance

HELLA is a recognized OE-focused brand in automotive electrical and sensor components. Part number 014494261 is built to the listed specifications for the confirmed Volkswagen Jetta fitment.
