Which sensor, unloved by drivers, will save the engine from the “capital”

Over time, in a used car, there are problems with the converter, the lambda sensor or the EGR (exhaust gas) valve. Car owners tend to disable these systems or install “tricks”. At the same time, they also “block” a particular sensor so that it does not interfere with normal driving. And in vain! The AvtoVzglyad portal tells how a penny part saves the engine from serious repairs.
The transport of used premium cars from Europe seems to be picking up again. Mercedes and BMWs come to us in good configurations and with a low mileage. Here it is a dream! Citizens pick up sedans like hot cakes, start using them and eventually get into trouble.
Diagnostics show that the EGR valve is clogged or there are errors in the temperature sensor (it is located in front of the converter). Malfunctions also start with chip tuning. They can appear after illiterate work, and even if the task is to “squeeze all the juice out of the car.” Like, it will go soon, and then – not our problems.
At the same time, military personnel – and even those who like to press the “trigger” themselves – often disable the exhaust gas temperature sensor (DTOG). Because of him, the car often goes into emergency mode. The fact is that when the right pedal is pressed sharply, the electronic control unit forcibly cuts off the fuel supply so that the gasket between the steering wheel and the seat does not twist the unit. The bottom line is that the engine was saved. By the way, engineers put such “fuses” on both cheap and expensive cars.
From all of the above, it is clear that with the sensor turned off, any car will show miracles of dynamics, but sooner or later it will undergo a major overhaul.
In general, DTOG cannot be uninstalled or disabled. In diagnostics, it is necessary to check whether it shows signs of “life” and is in good condition. By the way, sometimes it is removed along with the particulate filter, so that the customer does not complain about mistakes and failures in the work of the “fiery heart”. So if you suddenly find out that a “soot” has been repaired from a used foreign car, check whether the DTOG is in order. It is the key to the sustainability of the entire power plant.
