Hello,

Just now, the engine warning light came on, but there's no sign of a limp mode. After that, I used VCDS to read the error codes from the engine control unit, and it indicated that the differential pressure sensor is providing an implausible signal.

Indeed, specifically a negative pressure difference of -25 mbar when idling.

Is there another source besides "Freundlich" that offers the differential pressure sensor 03G906051A at a reasonable price?

Best regards, Rainer.

There was a workshop campaign, I think.

They just ripped out my old pacemaker and installed a new one.
Meanwhile, the product is now called 076906051A.

I think icon_smile.gif the stuff should be shipped across the border, but I always find the AHW shop to be quite fast and affordable.

Hi, shipping is almost always cheaper than driving icon_wink.gif x kilometers around the area.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for.

@dieselmartinViewing profile: dieselmartin: Was your old part number also 03G906051A, or a different one?

I'm not sure anymore.

I thought I had a 03G906051, which was replaced with a 03G906051A due to a workshop campaign.

The part number 03G906051A was later renamed to 076906051A: "obsolete, replacement..."

Currently, the Golf, Passat BMR, and BMP models all use the part number 03G906051A.

In this case, the item was not replaced according to the list.

The 03G... they're not much good either, eventually they'll all start having problems.
The spinning is becoming less noticeable... still no one has reported issues with the 076 model again.
Became noticeable in that area with a message displaying current status updates.

Stupid, because I just ordered the same one again... icon_lol.gif

Edit: Even though, 076 906 051 A icon_smile.gif has arrived.

After logging in using the code displayed in VCDS, the pressure and offset of the sensor become plausible again, meaning they are reset.

Internal structure of a differential pressure sensor; not really something that can be repaired.

TWO sensors?

SSP 336 states "Membrane with piezo elements".


Here are my values:

Code:

20:15:45 Block 067: Partikelfilter (Abgaswerte I)
  82.6°C  Temperatur vor Abgasturbolader
  75.0°C  Temperatur im Partikelfilter
  1.0 mbar  Druckdifferenz Partikelfilter
  7 mbar  Offset Differenzdruck

                 Adresse 01: Motor  (03G 906 021 QJ)

Yep, each of the connecting tubes ends beneath one of the sensors.

The new G450 differential pressure sensor can then be programmed using VCDS:

- Ignition ON, engine OFF.
- VCDS -> 01 - Engine -> Coding II - 11
Enter the login code from the VCDS tooltip (adjustment for exhaust pressure sensor 1 - G450).
- Ignition OFF.

This process resets the learning values for the new differential pressure sensor.

Okay, I'm ready. Please provide the German text you want me to translate.

Then it must have been changed.
Instead of a membrane that bends due to pressure from both sides, two absolute pressure sensors are used, and the difference between their readings is calculated.

It would be interesting to see the whole family now:

03G906051A
03G906051
076906051A

Does anyone have any "left over"?

Unfortunately, I only have two 03G...A, but Rainer has already dismantled one of them.
