Hello,
Just got to scan my 110k A6 2.7T with Vcds for the first time. I own regular OBD2 scanner that doesn't show "everything". The Vcds scan reviled 1 engine code that OBD2 doesn't see (pic below). CEL is off and the car runs ok. The only thing I noticed is little irregular idle or very small vibration. This code means exhaust gas temp sensor 1 short to ground intermittent.
Does any one has any knowledge/experience with this code/sensor and can shed some light over this subject? I would like to possibly fix the issue before it becomes a "category 5" catastrophe. Any input on the topic will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hey Jan

Not sure if you need them, but it sounds like you might soon...

ECSTuning is running a special on the EGT sensors so you might want to grab some now and save yourself some $$$

Hi. I have a 2001 audi a6 2.7t with p1423 and p1411 (both related to secondary air injection system- low air flow on both banks)...Interesting thing is that my OBDII only showed these 2 codes. But I just got my Vag com connector and looked it up, and it showed the third code which is p1454 (Exhaust gas temperature sensor- short to ground)...Can you please tell me what was the outcome of this issue in your car? Could p1454 be the root cause of the other two codes, because I couldn't find anything wrong with the air injection system (had a leaky pipe which I replaced), but other than that the pump works...Anyway, I just wanted to know whether the vag com is throwing this code by mistake or is it genuine and were you able to resolve it? if so, how? Thank you.
