Hello!

Simply said in the morning when the car was completely cold (at ambient temperature) when I take a look at my EGT sensors, I can see that two of them are reading cca the ambient temp around 27°C while the first of them is reading 75°C


I have no error codes from the ECU and immediately after I start the engine, the temperatures start to go up, but I cant help but wonder if this is normal? Perhaps the sensor is measuring with an absolute error of 50°C in the whole range of temperatures and this is what is causing my troubles with low temperatures while performing DPF regeneration? 

Should I just replace the sensor? Any thoughts?

Here just to make it very clear which values I am talking about. I wonder, if it is normal that the EGT senzor 1 is not going under 75°C

Ok I just have learned from my mechanic, that this is normal. This particular sensor cannot show less then 75°C.
