Walker 273-10430 Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor

OE Base EGT Sensor for Diesel Exhaust Monitoring

Walker OE Base Sensor 273-10430 is an exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensor built for accurate exhaust temperature monitoring in diesel aftertreatment systems. It uses a tan female connector with an oblong shape, 2 wires, and 2 spade terminals to match the OE-style electrical interface on supported Volkswagen applications.

Compatible with 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Jetta, and 2015 Volkswagen Passat, this sensor is positioned after the diesel particulate filter. Walker 273-10430 provides the temperature signal the ECM uses to manage regeneration events and protect emissions components from excessive heat.

Key Features

• OE Base Sensor line for direct-fit exhaust temperature monitoring
• Part number 273-10430 for supported Volkswagen diesel applications
• Tan female connector with oblong housing
• 2-wire design with 2 spade terminals
• Built with high-temperature and corrosion-resistant materials
• Engineered for stable resistance, response time, and signal output
• Aftertreatment-focused placement after the diesel particulate filter

Product Details

Walker Products OE Base Sensor 273-10430 is made for exhaust systems that rely on precise temperature feedback to control regeneration and emissions performance. In diesel vehicles, the EGT sensor reports exhaust heat levels to the ECM so the system can manage DPF regeneration and help protect turbocharger and SCR components. For 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, Jetta, and Passat diesel applications, this sensor supports accurate monitoring at the post-DPF location.

The OE Base Sensor line focuses on OE-style fit and electrical performance, with materials selected for harsh exhaust environments. If you are replacing a failing exhaust gas temperature sensor on a 2015 Volkswagen Beetle, 2015 Volkswagen Jetta, or 2015 Volkswagen Passat, part number 273-10430 matches the listed connector and terminal configuration for the application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Fault codes related to exhaust gas temperature sensor performance
• Incorrect DPF regeneration timing
• Loss of exhaust temperature signal to the ECM
• Emissions system warnings tied to aftertreatment temperature monitoring
• Heat-related stress on diesel aftertreatment components

Installation Notes

Verify the connector shape, terminal style, and sensor location before installation. This part uses a tan female connector, 2 wires, and male spade terminals, and it is listed for the after-DPF position on the supported Volkswagen diesel models. Confirm the original sensor location and harness routing before replacing the unit.

Quality Assurance

Walker builds this OE Base Sensor to meet or exceed OE specifications for resistance, response time, and long-term signal stability. The sensor is constructed for durability in high-heat, corrosive exhaust conditions and is designed to maintain accurate exhaust temperature monitoring over time.
