Golf/GTI VI :: Get Tyre Pressure Sensor Wire Through Firewall?
Oct 9, 2011
Trying, to retrofit the TPMS 'clearing' button for the system that uses ABS. Easy enough to fit the button, but need to run a wire to the ABS module. Took out the glovebox/cubby hole hoping it would reveal where the main wireharness goes through the firewall, but there is a big plastic unit behind the glovebox. It would have made life easier as the ABS is right in front of the glovebox but guess I'll need to take another route.

My 2006 Golf V R32 DSG with 74kkm on the clock started acting up this following weekend.
Took a slow right turn, and BAM the yellow power steering light came up, along with the yellow sign for ESP deactivated and tyre pressure failure.
Then i found out, that a couple of turns to each side would clear the power steering fault light and shortly after the 2 others would follow.
When i tried that for about 4-5 times i took it to my local shop, where we tested it with vcds and the only fault was the steering angle sensor, which I then had replaced, and mechanic then reset the ESP for some reason.
Picked up the car, and it worked fine... for 10km then i had the excatly same thing accour again.
What can be wrong? I have thourgt about the steering rack, but the symptoms are not what others have encountered.

Doesn't seem to be any pattern to it, kind of random; but this message has been popping up a bit lately. Of course it never seems to do this when at the dealer for service.

Didn't touch the downpipe during engine swap of my BEW TDI.
After swap, have code:
17524 - Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor Heating; B1 S1
P1116 - 000 - Open Circuit
The O2 sensor wire disappears above the heat shield above the exhaust. I am used to (Audi 1.8T, 2.7T, 2.8) seeing the O2 sensors coming up with plug on firewall.
Where is the O2 sensor wire going to.
I normally by the generic Bosch O2 if the SENSOR is bad (cut and splice), but suspect that maybe the problem (open circuit) is further 'upstream'.
Obviously, I am a TDI (and Golf/transverse engine) newbie, so bear with me.

On Friday (outside temperature 2 degrees), my TPMS started alarming the usual (CHECK TYRE PRESSURE). So I looked at the display and all four "tyres" had an exclamation point. So I took out my $1 tire pressure gauge and all four tires were 44 psi. After re-setting the TPMS, all is back to normal.
I wonder what happened there?

So, my '06 XL just popped up a P0051 code, which is the bank 2, sensor 1 (the upstream A/F sensor that you can easily view upon opening the hood in the front exhaust manifold. Easy enough of a replacement on that one, but what about bank 1, sensor 1 (the upstream A/F ratio sensor on the firewall side of the engine)? I changed my oil today and I can access three of the four oxy/A/F sensors, but the upstream rear looks like a bitch! Out of curiosity, I called a local Toyota dealer and they said it would be 300.00 total to replace the hidden sensor on the firewall side. Does this amount seem realistic? I know that there is a TSB for this sensor that states to replace the exhaust manifold/cat assembly. I def. can't afford no 1700.00 crap right now!!

Yesterday, my wife took my car to LA and the CEL came on and stayed on (it's not blinking). It doesn't seem like anything is really wrong with the car other than the light being on. My wife says it seems to be running fine since the CEL came on.
Then this morning, my wife turned on the car and the check tire light came on, but then went off. Last week, I had my new rims (19x.8.5) and tires (235/35-19) installed, so I guess that could have something to do with it. My wife checked the tires and there's nothing wrong with them.
I want to figure out what the heck is going on with my R (sucks that all this started happening the one time my wife took the car out of town....Murphy's law I guess). I have an APR stage 1 tune, and want to avoid potential issues with a punk dealership in LA. Consequently, I'd like to try to figure out what is going on with my VAG-COM before I take it to the dealer.
Here are my questions:
1. Could my new rims and tires have caused the CEL to come on and stay on? Seems unlikely, but since the check tire light started acting up, I though they might be related.
2. Is there a way to scan my car with VAC-COM to figure out what is causing the CEL?

Looking for a "small" sending unit that works with an electrical gauge. When I mean small I'm talking smaller than 2 inch diameter and 3.25 inches long.
I have a sending unit with those dimensions and would like something more compact if at all possible. The range needed would be 0-100psi.

In my 1999 Jeep Cherokee, with a 4.0L inline 6, I need to find the color of the wiring harness wire from the pre-catalytic convertor oxygen sensor. I think it's the black with dark green strip, but I have found conflicting information on the internet and in my Haynes book.

I'm still trying to get my project 2001 Prius to attempt to start the ICE. I can drive the car around electric only, so MG2 is OK. I see a pulse of current going to MG1 as it does it's startup tests. So I'm thinking maybe the MG1 position sensor is faulty. Where on the transaxle the MG1 position sensor wire is located?

I have a 2008 XLE Camry. I have/had problems with squirrels eating wiring in my vehicles. I checked my Camry the other day and noticed the wires were eaten off a sensor.
The damaged connector is behind the engine cover and located on the left side of the black plastic cover directly behind the engine cover.
The connector is white plastic, has two thin wires black and black/white. This connector is attached to a large yellowish nylon base on the end of this black plastic cover between the engine cover and firewall.
What is the purpose of this connector. Everything works on the car although gas mileage dropped off about 2, which could be attributed to this winter blend ethonol.
