FAQs
What vehicles is this socket compatible with?
This socket is specifically designed for 14mm single hex exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensors commonly found on various VW Group vehicles. Compatibility with other makes or models should be confirmed by checking the sensor's hex size.
What is the length of the socket?
The socket has a short series design with a length of 66mm.
Can I use this socket with a torque wrench?
Yes, you can attach a 1/2" drive torque wrench to the socket for precise torque application.
What are the drive options for this socket?
The socket features a 1/2" drive for use with a ratchet or extension, and a 24mm external hex for use with a spanner.
What material is the socket made from?
It is manufactured from durable chrome molybdenum steel with a black phosphate finish.
Are there other sizes available in this range?
Yes, Laser Tools offers additional sizes including 17mm (8999), 19mm (8998), 22mm (8063), and 24mm (8590).
How should I clean and maintain the socket?
Clean the socket with a dry cloth after use and store it in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically check for wear.
Troubleshooting
Socket does not fit the sensor.
Verify the sensor is a 14mm single hex type. If not, an incorrect size socket may be in use or the sensor is non-standard. Consult vehicle service information for correct specifications.
Difficulty applying sufficient torque.
Ensure the correct drive is being used (1/2" ratchet or 24mm spanner) and that it is fully engaged with the socket. If the sensor is severely seized, consider using a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to soak.
Socket appears damaged or worn.
Discontinue use immediately and inspect for cracks or excessive wear on the drive or hex. Replace the socket if compromised to prevent further damage to the sensor or tool.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Designed for specific VW Group EGT sensors, ensuring a proper fit.
- Short length allows for use in restricted engine compartments.
- Offers multiple drive options (1/2" ratchet or 24mm spanner) for versatile application.
- Facilitates higher torque application for stubborn sensors.
- Robust chrome molybdenum construction for durability.
- Part of a series, allowing purchase of other sizes if needed.
Cons
- Primarily designed for 14mm sensors; not universally compatible with all EGT sensors.
- Specific fitment may limit its use outside of VW Group vehicles.
- Short length might be insufficient for some deeply recessed sensors.
- Requires appropriate torque wrenches or spanners for optimal use.
- Requires confirmation of sensor hex size before purchase for non-specified applications.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This socket is specifically designed for 14mm single hex exhaust gas temperature (EGT) sensors. It is confirmed to fit various VW Group vehicles. For other vehicle makes or models, it is crucial to verify the exact size and hex type of the EGT sensor before use. Additional sizes in the Laser Tools range include 17mm (Part No. 8999), 19mm (Part No. 8998), 22mm (Part No. 8063), and 24mm (Part No. 8590).
Setup & Use:
- Identify the EGT sensor on the vehicle and confirm it is a 14mm single hex type.
- Select the appropriate drive: attach a 1/2" drive ratchet or extension, or use a 24mm spanner on the external hex.
- Slide the socket over the EGT sensor, ensuring a snug fit.
- Apply steady torque to loosen or tighten the sensor as required. Use appropriate safety measures and torque specifications if available.
Care:
- After use, clean the socket with a dry cloth to remove any dirt or debris.
- Store the socket in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
- Inspect the socket periodically for any signs of wear or damage. The chrome molybdenum construction and black phosphate finish offer good corrosion resistance, but proper care ensures longevity.
