Exhaust Gas Temperature gauge

[rambada]

Hi all,

Re Exhaust Gas Temperature gauge please

• Who runs one?
• Worth worrying about?
• Can the Gap diagnostics be used for this?
• If not, is there a bluetooth or app based version?

TIA

Not required.. 3.0L engine runs its own EGT so the ECU has you covered.

I believe you can monitor using GAP tool in instrument mode

And how’s the kit coming along so we can fit to the 2.7?

I have EGT. I wonder if it became a part of the harness with the MY08 upgrade to accommodate the DPF? If so you might be able to just add it in.

What kit are you referring too?

Irrespective of that, I'm not sure any 2.7 had the EGT, we have a late 2.7 D4 and I don't think it's got one.

2.7 dont have built in EGT. I havent worried about fitting it (I did on all previous vehicles) as the tune remains well inside parameters.

Mine does.

Mine does.

Import?

Yours is a grey import IIRC with DPF?

It was a personal import, and it did have DPF, yes. There were a number of changes to the MY08 to accommodate EU4 and DPF (such as setting faults on EGR flow). I wonder if the EGT connector is in the MY08-> harness.
It'd be interesting to see if the GAP list on other cars has the "catalyst temperature sensors" elements listed in the "complete" list. The one I use is the "Pre-catalyst Exhaust Gas Temperature".
