This sensor is compatible with specific Opel and Vauxhall models featuring 1.6D engines, including Astra J, Insignia A and B, and Zafira C, manufactured from late 2013 onwards. Always verify fitment using the vehicle make and model tool.
This Bosch sensor replaces OEM part numbers GMC55489548 and 55497866.
This particular sensor is designed for the front fitting position of the exhaust system.
A DPF warning light can be caused by a faulty exhaust temperature sensor, but also by other factors. While replacing the sensor is a common fix, it's advisable to have your vehicle diagnosed to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
Installation is possible for individuals with mechanical experience and the correct tools. However, if you are unsure, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended to ensure correct fitment and avoid damage.
The primary function is to measure the temperature of exhaust gases. This data is used by the vehicle's Engine Control Module (ECM) to optimize engine performance, manage emissions control systems like the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), and ensure efficient operation.
'Front fitting position' indicates where the sensor is installed within the exhaust system, typically closer to the engine than sensors located further down the exhaust line.
Ensure the sensor is fully seated and the electrical connector is securely attached. Clear any existing diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) with an OBD-II scanner. If the light persists, there may be an issue with the wiring or another component in the exhaust system.
Verify the sensor part number matches your vehicle's requirements. Ensure there are no exhaust leaks before or after the sensor, as these can affect readings. Consider if other engine-related issues might be contributing.
Apply a penetrating lubricant to the threads and allow it to soak for a period. Use a suitable wrench and apply steady pressure. If the sensor is seized, professional removal might be necessary to avoid damaging the exhaust manifold or pipe.
Compatibility Verification:
Before purchasing, it is essential to verify compatibility with your specific vehicle. Use the provided vehicle make and model tool on the product page. If unsure, contact customer support with your vehicle's details for assistance.
Installation:
This sensor is designed for the front fitting position of the exhaust system. Installation typically involves:
*Note: Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with automotive repairs.*
Care:
As a sensor component, the exhaust temperature sensor requires no routine user maintenance. Its longevity depends on proper installation and the overall health of the exhaust system and engine. Avoid harsh cleaning agents near the sensor or its wiring.
Storage:
Store in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures until ready for installation.
