Error Code P0546 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High

RICHD10 · 02-28-2008, 12:59 PM

Hi all,

I have recently purchase a 2003 Audi A2 1.6 FSI Sport which had only done 30000 miles which i thought was good for the year. When I drive around town (short distances) its fine i have no problems other than this knocking when pulling off, of which I have established the problem. However when i travel with work on long distance i.e. over 100 miles i get the engine management light which keeps returning the following code:

P0546 - Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor Circuit High

Does anyone know if this is a common issue and how i can fix this problem?

Someone suggested a 'lamperprobe' but again unsure what that means exactly?

Keep us posted

Exhaust gas temp sensor is not a lambda sensor, it does what it says on the tin!
