Bosch Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT) Sensor P/N:0986259025
Bosch 0986259158 exhaust gas temperature (egt) sensor for the 2014-2016 Audi A6 Quattro V6 3.0L and other vehicles measures exhaust temperature ahead of the particulate filter and reports it to the ECU. The ECU uses that data to help time regeneration events and urea dosing for the SCR and DPF systems.
A warning light or a regeneration cycle that does not finish can mean the sensor has failed, but those signs have other possible sources too. Before replacing it, look at the connector and wiring with the engine off and cool for damage, soot or corrosion.
This listing is one sensor, mounted before the particulate filter, and it fits the 2014-2016 Audi A7 Quattro V6 3.0L and the 2014-2016 Audi A8 Quattro V6 3.0L; each takes one. Open the Buyer's Guide tab to check your own model and engine.
