Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor The Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor (EGTS) is located in either the front of the Diesel Catalyst and depending on vehicle manufacturer it can also be located in front of the Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) this sensor detects exhaust gas temperature and converts this into a voltage signal. This information is then sent back to the engine ECU with the voltage signal in order to control engine conditions to effectively reduce emission. Higher engine temperatures can cause premature engine wear and in some cases engine failure.

EGR Valve

Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) is a nitrogen oxide emissions reduction technique used in petrol and diesel engines. The EGR valve works by recirculating a proportion of the engines exhaust gas back in to the engine cylinders, this vastly increases efficiency whilst the engine is cold and, results in a cleaner, more complete burn of fuel. The Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler uses the engines coolant to help reduce exhaust gas temperatures prior to recirculating them through the engines intake system. The EGR Cooler prevents damage to expensive components downstream in the exhaust system, like the turbocharger, and prevents the build-up of pollutants due to excessive temperatures.
