FAQs

How do I know if my exhaust temperature sensor needs replacing?

Symptoms often include the Check Engine Light illuminating, reduced engine power, decreased fuel efficiency, or issues with the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) regeneration cycle.

What does 'OE number' mean?

OE stands for Original Equipment. The OE number is the part number assigned by the vehicle manufacturer to the original part installed on the vehicle. This sensor is designed to replace OE number 58 55 377.

Can I install this sensor myself?

While technically possible, professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended, especially as these parts typically do not include fitting instructions and require specific knowledge of your vehicle's exhaust and electrical systems.

What is the weight of this sensor?

The weight of this Febi exhaust temperature sensor is 0.071 kg.

How many connectors does this sensor have?

This exhaust temperature sensor features 2 connectors or ports.

Where is the exhaust temperature sensor located?

Its exact location varies by vehicle model but it is typically installed in the exhaust system upstream of critical components like the catalytic converter or DPF.

What happens if I don't replace a faulty exhaust temperature sensor?

A faulty sensor can lead to incorrect engine management, affecting performance, fuel economy, emissions control, and potentially causing damage to other exhaust components like the DPF.

Troubleshooting

Check Engine Light (CEL) is on after installation.

Ensure the sensor is securely connected and the wiring is not damaged. Re-verify vehicle compatibility. If the issue persists, the sensor may be faulty, or there might be another underlying issue with the exhaust system or ECU.

Inaccurate temperature readings reported by diagnostics.

Confirm the sensor is the correct part number for your vehicle. Check for exhaust leaks near the sensor, as these can affect readings. Ensure electrical connections are clean and secure.

Vehicle experiencing poor performance or DPF/catalytic converter issues.

An exhaust temperature sensor is critical for these systems. If the sensor is faulty, it can cause these problems. Replacement with a correctly fitted and functional sensor is often the solution.
