Hi!

Where is the EGT sensor #2 located in the 2011 2.0tdi?

Ok, so there is no sensor/sender #2. That explains why vcds shows 0⁰C on sensor 2. Thank you for the reply👍

This is an official document of the VW group, they don't mark the sensors that way (sensor 1, sensor 2......)
Look for the answer on the VCDS forum
