if it's the driver's side, I have one.. if you're going to be in madtown tomorrow, we can meet up.

bank 1 is passanger side.

Genuineaudiparts.com - They are ~$215 a side.

yeah its the passanger side. i was getting misfires in cyl# 1,2,3 under wot. it only happens from a dead stop. if i'm rolling and punch it seems to run okay. i went on there and i couldn't find anything for the egt. i found one at ecstuning, but they want $300. for that much i'll just go to the dealer. i looked up egt sensor, Exhaust Temperature Sensor, and still came up with nothing.

Whoops, I forgot they are labeled funky on Genuineaudiparts website. They labeled as coolant temp sensors or something odd like that.

Just plug in the part numbers

Passenger side: 078 919 529 G
Drivers side: 078 919 529 F

I just got a drivers side EGT from them last week. It's the correct part :-)

No prob. You lucked out, passenger side is the easy side to change ;-)

Where in Milwaukee do you live? I live in Jackson, which is north of Milwaukeee a little, but work at Froedtert.

I replaced my passanger side EGT a month ago. Piece of cake. Did it in less then an hour.

I got a used one from Shokan.com for 140 bucks. But if you wanted new I would def go with genuineaudiparts.com if you cant find it on the site, call them and they do sell them, I've checked with them in the past on the part and they do have it.

You are getting misfires too? i didnt have misfires when I was getting the egt code.

yeah when i was stock i was not getting any misfires, but as soon as i whent giac, misfires under wide open throttle. like i said it only happens from a dig. when your rolling it seems to be okay. i live on the north west side of milwaukee. hey we should get together sometime.
