Hi.
Based on which measured values is a differential pressure sensor G450 considered to be in need of replacement?
Do you have any offsets that are considered too large?
Or other, strange behavior.
"Mine has a different offset every day (sometimes 13, sometimes 9, etc.), and yesterday it surprised me while I was stationary, engine off, with a differential pressure of 2 mbar."
We've already established that these things age, not in terms of operating hours, but with the passage of time. The new location of the CRs is also noteworthy; instead of being mounted on the engine, they are now located on the body in a vibration-dampened position.

Hi,
On the Golf 6 with a 2.0 CR engine, the sensor is also mounted on the engine.
I received a new sensor after the differential pressure stopped changing.
See:
Okay, I understand. Please provide the German text you want me to translate into English. I will only provide the translation.

Do you have a picture of it?

Has anyone ever replaced this part "just in case" and noticed any improvements?
I have sensors operating with offsets of 13 mbar, -9 mbar, and -15 mbar.
I think I'll get a new one and see what happens.

Until the differential pressure sensor failed, I couldn't detect any abnormalities in my BRE.
Best regards, Rainer.

A badger (at the ASB - presumably a location) chewed through a hose connecting the DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) to the differential pressure sensor.
Even then, there was no noticeable change in the way the car handled, only the engine check light was on.

Hi dieselmartin,
Here are the pictures, it took a while.
I need to correct myself; the sensor is mounted on the engine mount, not on the engine itself.
I had it wrong in my head.

My sensor for the pressure die is also mounted on the injection molding machine.
In the image on the top left:

I replaced it at the same time, just to be on the safe side, while cleaning the DPF.
It has never been defective before.http://stefan.localh0rst.net/albums/album02/IMG_0044.sized.jpg{MARKER}

After several years, the sensor is probably still working, but I noticed today that there should be a difference when the engine is not running?!?

"Should" certainly not, the question is whether the small value has noticeable effects.

I had a balancing process running after the measured pressure of 4.4 mbar.
Later, after measuring with VCDS (for a certain number of hours), the results looked like this:

What exactly does the offset do at that point? It seems to have "rounded up" and included the 4.4...?

I thought so too.
He had an offset of -4 and an incorrectly high value of 4.4.
To correct the measurement to 0, you need to subtract 4.4 from the already calculated -4, resulting in -8.4, which is approximately 9 mbar.
I've also seen readings as low as -13 mbar.
The offset is therefore constantly fluctuating, which contradicts the concept of "calibration" or "adjustment."
Because why should I have to "pair" the sensor via login 3060 if it's supposed to constantly provide different values, and the MSTG is supposed to automatically compensate for that?
...or is it actually not supposed to fluctuate, and therefore considered "unstable" and in need of replacement?

Haha.
Now it's weird again:
Code: | 13:55:30 Block 067: Partikelfilter (Abgaswerte I)
60.8°C Temperatur vor Abgasturbolader
57.6°C Temperatur im Partikelfilter
4.4 mbar Druckdifferenz Partikelfilter
-9 mbar Offset Differenzdruck
|
That means it will result in an offset of -13 millibars.
I think there will be a new sensor next time.

There have even been instances where the pressure reached as low as -16 mbar.
