Vemo V10-72-1403 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor - Before Particulate Filter

OE-Style Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor

The Vemo V10-72-1403 exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor is built for direct-fit replacement on select Volkswagen and Audi diesel applications. It uses a PTC sensor element and an L-form housing to monitor exhaust temperature before the particulate filter, helping maintain accurate emissions-system feedback.

VEMO product line components are developed for OE-style fit and function, with application-specific connectors, sensor geometry, and temperature resistance for demanding exhaust environments.

Key Features

• Part number: V10-72-1403

• PTC sensor type with 2 poles
• D-shape connector with brown socket color
• L-form design for OE-style routing and placement
• Thread size: M14 x 1.5
• Temperature range: -40°C to 900°C
• Overall length: 780 mm; cable length: 655 mm
• OE reference: 03L 906 088 J

Detailed Description

This Vemo EGT sensor is specified for vehicles that use OE number 03L 906 088 J and is listed for before particulate filter locations on select Volkswagen Beetle, Golf, and Jetta models, as well as Audi A3 applications. The sensor’s PTC design, 2-pin configuration, and M14 x 1.5 thread support accurate exhaust temperature measurement in high-heat conditions, while the L-form body and 780 mm overall length help match the original routing and mounting layout. The V10-72-1403 is a practical OE-style replacement for drivers addressing emissions-system fault codes or temperature signal issues on compatible Volkswagen Beetle, Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, and Audi A3 diesel applications.

This part cross-references 273-20026 and ELT0066 for the same application.

What It Is Used For

• Restoring exhaust temperature signal accuracy for emissions monitoring
• Addressing EGT sensor fault codes in the engine control system
• Replacing a damaged or heat-aged sensor before the particulate filter
• Correcting intermittent temperature readings caused by wiring or sensor wear
• Supporting proper diesel exhaust aftertreatment system operation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify OE number 03L 906 088 J, connector shape, and sensor length before installation. This sensor uses a D-shape connector, brown socket color, and M14 x 1.5 thread with a tightening torque of 45 Nm. Confirm the vehicle application and mounting position before fitting, especially on 2010-2014 Volkswagen Golf and Jetta, 2010-2013 Audi A3, and 2012-2017 Volkswagen Beetle listings. For best results, inspect the harness and exhaust-side threads for heat damage or corrosion before installation.

Quality Assurance

Vemo VEMO components are built to OE-style specifications and matched to the listed factory reference for application accuracy and fitment consistency.
