pmth95 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Anyone know how to remove the passenger side TGV sensor? I have both screws out, the sensor is loose, but it is stuck between the TGV shaft and the housing of the turbo. Can the shaft be pulled in by removing the motor on the other side? Is there such a thing as loosening the turbo to get the part out? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spec.B Dream Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Why not unbolt the TGV to give room? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCASEYS Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 think you have to rotate it to remove I donated to LegacyGT.com which allows me to have this nifty signature. If anything SCASEYS posts ever becomes a sticky i'm gonna light this whole place on fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmth95 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 OK got it out! It takes a little bit of alignment and the help of a long screw driver to "push" it past the shaft. It removes a tiny amount of plastic from the sensor. Now the hard part: can the sensor be fixed (cracked body) or replaced with a Throttle Position sensor?

BHanz34 Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 What's wrong with your tgv? Just curious cause I am throwing a P2007 and a P0108 CEL.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmth95 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Share Posted December 20, 2013 I broke the sensor when changing the banjo bolt filter. The connector part is "cracked" apart from the rest of the sensor. It has been throwing a CEL P2016 (= Tumble Generator Valve position sensor 1 (RH) ) for the past three years. @90K mi I have the engine moved forward to change the squealing throw out bearing (and clutch) and figured I should look at the sensor while I am at it.

Damn! Don't know how you lasted 3 years with the CEL on! It drives me crazy, plus since I have an '08 with SI Drive, I can't use that with a CEL on.
