Hello all.
Car is an Audi S3 8L BAM 225
I've been having an EGT sensor problem for quite some time now. I was getting an implausible signal or short to plus. I decided to buy the EGT repair kit from the guys at Poland that goes for 40 euros. According to different forums, this kit works very well and it's a cheaper alternative from the Audi OEM one.
So, an electrician friend of mine who has fixed some EGTs already with the kit, fixed mine. Plugged in the car the black box again, clear codes, and went for a spin. What was my surprise? The car had no power at WOT. When the boost gets to 14lbs (stock) the car just sputters and no power whatsoever. Scanned the car, and I had something about EGT bank 1 limit reached. Other than that, no misfire, nothing, other than the Oxygen sensor B1S1 which is faulty (yes, I know I need to replace it. It's already on its way). Made some logs and the EGT is reading fine. 400c at idle and about 600~800c on WOT. I electrically disconnected the EGT and I have full power again.
Could it be that the Oxygen sensor PLUS the now working EGT might be working together and pulling the car back? I have no other option yet to wait for the Oxygen Sensor to arrive and make some tests, but I wanted to ask here in the forum if my symptoms were normal or somebody has experienced the same?
Any help/insight would be appreciated.
