Hi, can anyone advise where the following sensors are located on the 280 Tsi CJX engine? Photo's or a schematic diagram would be great.

 

Camshaft position sensor

Boost pressure sensors 1 & 2

Rail pressure sensor

 

Thanks

You're not installing a tuning box by any chance, are you? :tongueout:

Couldn't possibly comment :x, but if I was, that information could be useful......

Does the attached document provide any useful information?

Yes, thank you but I don't think enough for me to be confident that all the sensors are in the same place.  Looking if possible to refit a Steinbauer box and that comes with no vehicle specific instructions for a home installation. It's clearly marked on the Steinbauer harness with the sensors and where you should attach but no actual location on the vehicles' engine. I'll keep trying...:cool:

Well, going by the JB4 guide, the two boost sensors are B and D, and the rail pressure * I GUESS * is the C.  Camshaft should be sensor A, but without haven't seen the Steinbauer box don't just take my word for it, but you could try to see if my suggestions match the labels on the Steinbauer ones without connecting anything. There are pictures showing where A,B,C,D are located in the engine bay.

Each sensor is a different type anyway so if you try my suggestions and all of them *happen* to match the exact type of the sensor you're trying to connect to they're probably right...

....or i have hit some extremely slim odds of randomly matching the sensor types (statistically possible but probably unlikely).

Don't come back saying I ruined your car though!  I'd only trust a JB4 on mine anyway :tongueout:
