G247 Replacement DIY (Fuel Rail Pressure Valve Sensor)

Or get a crows foot

I just swapped this sensor a few weeks ago... and then back to the old one because it didnt solve my issue, and the new sensor turned out to be bad/had a bent pin. It can be done without removing the intake manifold with a standard wrench 27mm or 1 1/16 wrench... it was a very VERY tight fit but it works.

PM me your cell # if you want me to give you a quick walkthrough on facetime or something.

So one thing i've found out today is that the 06's came with a different (1st gen) sensor. It is approx a quarter inch longer than the sensors that came on the 07's and up.

This sucks because i found a way to get the 27mm deep socket onto my sensor, but it doesn't go far enough to reach the bolt part of the sensor to turn.

If I could just break the sensor loose i could turn it out with a pair of pliers.

I found one regular sized 27mm wrench in town and it doesn't have the room to get onto the sensor since it is slightly longer.

theres a special tool for that sensor, i have a 27 that fits tho

Forgot to ask, what year is your car and what revision of the G247 are you using? I'm trying to rule out if the issues I was having with my replacement was just incompatibly.

I have a 2008 FSI with the "B" revision G247 (black plastic) stock. The replacement I got that didn't work properly was a "D" revision and had a orange plastic connector.

Would love to hear how the new sensor works out with you when you get it put in too.
