How to Replace an Audi G28 Engine Speed SensorCharles the Humble Technician teaches you how to replace the G28 Engine Speed Sensor. The sensor is situated at the top of the transmission above the flywheel ring gear. It sends a signal to the ECU via an uncolored wire (T55/49) which is then sent to the tachometer located in the instrument cluster.1. Engine Speed SensorLocated on the edge of the transmission just above the flywheel ring gear the G28 Engine Speed Sensor sends a signal to ECU pin T55/49 through an uncolored wire. The ECU uses this information to regulate fuel and boost. It also sends signals to the G5 tachometer in the instrument cluster.The sensor is used to link the G40 Camshaft position Sensor. The ecu needs to know when the crankshaft has reached TDC, and the location of the camshaft so that it can activate the spark and injectors.If this sensor fails to function, the ECU will display a P00160 error code. This means that the Crank Shaft is out of line with the Intake Camshaft. It could also indicate the possibility of a chain stretch or jumped chain link in the upper chain of timing. However, the error code won't appear on its own, without additional information from other sensors (G4 and G40).Testing is a bit challenging because there are two pins for the connector and they serve different purposes but the most effective way to test it is to measure resistance between the sensor and the ECU. It should read approximately 1000 ohms if the sensor is in full operation. If you're experiencing issues with this part, check for evidence of coolant or oil in the connector bay.2. InjectorsYesterday, as i was accelerating off the highway paytoll at full speed I noticed a significant decrease in power. It was like the engine had run out of gas. Or my injectors weren't firing. In the morning, i removed the spark plugs. Three were soaked with gazoline and the fourth was dry. When I crank the engine without sparks, I put a piece of tissue on top of each injector hole, the 3 drenched with gazoline leap out, however the 4th one stays shut. I tested the ground connection of ECU pins 14,30 and 48/55. I got zero ohm. I think the issue is in another location.I also tried to reset the PID without success. The car can start when the G28 is unplugged and it runs perfectly when it is connected, but still has the intermittent misfire issue at higher RPM. The coolant sensor (G62) even when unplugged, still shows an ice temperature of -49c. I also noticed that the oil gauge in the cockpit shows 2 bars while the actual pressure is zero.I don't know what to do. audi replacement key cost thekeylab.co.uk think I've ruled everything else out. However, i'm afraid that I may have missed something. Let me know should you have any suggestions! TIA!3. Fuel PumpThe fuel pump in the g28 gets a signal from the RPM sensor. The GM-style transmitter is similar to the G4 sender, and both operate on the 80,100,200, UrS, and RS2 vehicles. It is easy to find a spare in a wrecking shop or parts store. It is simple to test them - put your DMM in resistance mode and measure the resistance between pins 1 (with the bump on the connector's side up) and 2 (2nd from left on the black connector's end). They should be infinite Ohms.4. ECUThe ECU in our 20vt turbo (3B AAN ABY) engines requires to know both the position and speed the crankshaft to determine fuel injector timing, etc. It uses a Crank Position Sensor G4 and an Engine Speed Sensor G28 to achieve this. If you encounter a problem with either of these, the diagnostic scanner will show codes that could lead to an engine shut down.A damaged G28 sensor can cause an inaccurate speed counter for the gearbox, a gearbox that shifts faster than normal, or a misfire while in the gear. It is likely that the sensor is failing and needs to be replaced if you notice any of these signs. They're cheap and easy to find especially in the case of a Bosch unit like ours. Alternatively, GM's version of this part is an excellent choice.5. TachometerA malfunctioning engine sensor can cause a variety of issues in your car. It's a crucial component of the transmission of your Audi, as it transmits information to the ECU on how fast or slow the car's engine is spinning. This sensor could cause the transmission to malfunction and other components of the car to be affected.The G5 engine speed sensor is situated on the outside of the transmission just above the flywheel ring gear. It transmits a signal to the ECU at pin T55/49 through an uncolored wire. The ECU then uses and processes this signal to regulate fuel, timig and boost and then sends it on to the G5 Tachometer located in the instrument cluster. You can check the sensor for failure by examining the continuity between it and the tachometer, between the ECU pin T55/49 and the instrument cluster connection to pin T6a/1 (trace [79]) and between pin T6a/1 and the instrument cluster pin T26a/12. It should show approximately 1000 ohms resistance between these two points. This is a typical component across the Audi 80, 100 200, UrS and RS2 range from 1985 MC until the 1997 UrS AAN and 1995 RS2 ADU, so the best parts could be found in wrecking yards.
