Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary function of this exhaust temperature sensor?

This sensor measures the temperature of the exhaust gases before the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) to help the vehicle's computer decide when to perform a DPF regeneration cycle.

Which vehicles is this sensor compatible with?

It is compatible with VW GOLF Mk6 2.0D models from 2008 to 2013 with the CJAA engine code and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF).

Are installation instructions included with the sensor?

No, installation instructions are typically not included. Professional installation by a qualified mechanic is recommended.

How do I know if my sensor needs replacement?

Symptoms can include a Check Engine Light, DPF warning lights, reduced engine power, or increased fuel consumption. A diagnostic scan is often needed to confirm sensor failure.

What is the part number for this sensor?

The part number is 49281, manufactured by Febi Bilstein.

What is the weight of this sensor?

The sensor weighs approximately 0.07 kg.

Can I install this sensor myself?

While possible for those with automotive experience, it is recommended to have it installed by a competent individual or professional mechanic due to the need for proper sealing and electrical connection.

Troubleshooting

Check Engine Light illuminated with DPF-related codes

Verify the sensor is correctly installed, securely connected, and that no exhaust leaks are present near the sensor port. Ensure the part number matches your vehicle's requirements.

Poor engine performance or reduced acceleration

This could indicate a DPF issue potentially related to incorrect temperature readings. A faulty or improperly installed sensor can disrupt DPF regeneration. Consult a mechanic for diagnosis.

Sensor connector is damaged

The connector may need to be replaced. This requires careful soldering or crimping and heat shrinking to ensure a reliable electrical connection. Professional repair is advised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures accurate exhaust temperature readings for DPF regeneration cycles.
  • Direct replacement for specific VW GOLF Mk6 2.0D CJAA engine models.
  • Manufactured by a reputable automotive parts supplier (Febi Bilstein).
  • Helps maintain vehicle emissions compliance.
  • Relatively lightweight component.

Cons

  • Installation instructions are typically not provided.
  • Requires specific vehicle model and engine code for compatibility.
  • Requires professional installation or mechanical expertise.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This sensor is compatible *only* with VW GOLF Mk6 2.0D models produced between 2008 and 2013, specifically those equipped with the CJAA engine code and a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF). Always verify your vehicle's exact specifications, including engine code and DPF presence, before purchasing.

Setup & Installation:

Installation of this exhaust temperature sensor requires mechanical expertise. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified mechanic or a competent individual familiar with automotive exhaust systems and DPF components. The sensor typically screws into a designated port on the exhaust system before the DPF. Ensure the area is clean and free of debris before installation. The 2-pin connector should then be securely attached to the corresponding wiring harness.

Care:

As an electronic sensor, the exhaust temperature sensor requires no routine maintenance. However, it is crucial to ensure the electrical connector remains clean and free from corrosion. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners directly on the sensor or its connector. If the sensor needs replacement, it is best to do so when the exhaust system is cool.
