2.0 TDI 170 engine speed sensor removal

[Geoff Barker]

Hi everyone

I have done a vcds scan after the car seemed to go into a limp mode....... I'm new to the whole TDI thing so haven't a clue what I'm doing!

I think the important bits are as follows:-

1 Fault Found:
000802 - Engine Speed Sensor (G28)
P0322 - 006 - No Signal - Intermittent - MIL ON
Freeze Frame:
Fault Status: 10100001
Fault Priority: 5
Fault Frequency: 8
Reset counter: 40
Mileage: 99293 km
Time Indication: 0
Date: 2017.02.10
Time: 16:57:40
Freeze Frame:
RPM: 0 /min
Torque: 176.0 Nm
Speed: 0.0 km/h
Bin. Bits: 00000001
Bin. Bits: 01000011
(no units): 11.0
Angle: 0.0 °
Readiness: N/A



I think the important bit is the code P0322.

So the first thing I to ask if anyone has any info on how to remove it, I think I know where it is but it looks pretty inaccessible.

I'd really appreciate some help on this

Hi there

Mines an '07 2.0 tdi s-line quattro 170. I believe it's got a BMN engine and the front of the engine looks rammed full of stuff that looks like it'd make accessing an otherwise easy to remove item a real 'mare.

Thankyou for your help- it's appreciated.

change it from below it should be a 10 minute job

Hi again

No chance, I'm afraid. On these cars the whole filter housing , together with coolant pipes have to be totally , or at least partially, removed. So I'm now looking for a thread on just how to tackle that...
