The Oxygen Sensor of your Audi TT monitors the unburned oxygen in the exhaust gas. In turn, the sensor sends a voltage signal to your engine control computer, which ensures precise fuel metering. The Oxygen Sensor is threaded into the exhaust stream and has a zirconium dioxide element with a platinum electrode coating. It has a ceramic core and a steel shell with slots that expose the tip to hot gases while admitting outside air from the top. When its internal heater brings the temperature to 600°F or so, the element produces voltage, which rises towards 0.9 volts when the mixture is rich and drops to near 0.1 volts when lean. This causes the computer to lengthen or shorten the fuel injector pulse width several times each second so closed loop operation maintains cat efficiency and low emissions to help the Audi powertrain comply with regulations for each TT. At least one upstream Oxygen Sensor is applied primarily to provide mixture feedback, and one downstream unit acts as a catalyst monitor. The downstream unit is expected to have a flatter signal around 0.45 volts when the converter is working properly. Aging, coolant leaks, silicone sealants, burning oil, carbon deposits, and other contaminants could delay the response of the Audi sensor or cause it to fail altogether. If the voltage is no longer switching as it should, the system defaults to a fixed rich mixture. This raises emissions, stores diagnostic codes, and lights a warning lamp on the Audi dashboard. Hence, the Oxygen Sensor on the TT needs checking and replacing as needed to restore normal Audi performance.
