Title: barometric pressure sensor?
Post by: km on 01 January 2011, 19:16: can anyone confirm if this is it? drive an agu if that help.

part numbers:
This is for a AGU VAG: 853 919 562
Universal Bosch number: 0 280 101 001

Title: Re: barometric pressure sensor?
Post by: km on 01 January 2011, 20:02: was hoping you'd tell me :grin:

from the research i've carried out...

BAROMETRIC PRESSURE (BARO) SENSOR. The baro sensor measures barometric pressure so the computer can compensate for changes in altitude and/or barometric pressure that would affect the fuel mixture or timing. Some MAP sensors also perform this function.

getting a little confused with this and the map sensor tbh, as i've read they are the same thing?

Post by: Wazzzer on 01 January 2011, 20:03: no AGU has this cos it doesn't have a MAP sensor

think this will be okay? or am i better of getting one from dealers if there isnt a huge price difference?
Title: Re: barometric pressure sensor?
Post by: Wazzzer on 01 January 2011, 22:26: about £90 for the dealers for a new one provided they still stock them. Only the AGU had them according to ETKA

Post by: km on 02 January 2011, 02:26: ahhh yes, i think it's what i need. thanks for that. alot pricier than i thought :smiley:

Post by: golf-sib on 02 January 2011, 02:35: I been wondering WTF one of them was for a long while on the AGU, but even unplugged it never bought any codes up, nor did it have an effect of performance when I vag com'd last trying to work out what it was with a 12ft pole

Post by: tech1889 on 02 January 2011, 03:13: agu's are terrible they never throw up codes.. doesnt mean there wasnt a problem.. :wink:

AUM are worse they throw codes for no apparent reason 17705..... :laugh:

Post by: tech1889 on 02 January 2011, 11:36: There is a reason 17705 is a boost leak just no one can find it :grin: :grin:

AUMs are over sensitive :laugh: :grin: :grin:

is this also called a 'Altitude Sensor'

Title: Re: barometric pressure sensor?
Post by: jamie16v on 06 October 2011, 13:25: same thing as a map sensor exept it measures the ambient air pressure rather than the inlet manifold pressure. basically there is an air bubble inside which expands when low altitude and contracts at higher altitude where there is less oxygen..
