📋 Procedure
ℹ️ Torque figures below come verbatim from workshop data — always cross-check against your vehicle's factory manual before final tightening.
Removing and installing
pressure differential sender
G505
Note
Pressure differential sender
G505
determines charge status of particulate filter. It can be connected via two lines before and after the particulate filter, or with just one line before the particulate filter. In this case, the pressure transducer measures the ambient pressure with an open line and calculates the pressure difference.

WARNING
Danger of scalding from very hot fuel.
In extreme cases, the temperature of the fuel and the fuel lines can reach 100°C after the engine is switched off. Allow the fuel to cool down before disconnecting the lines - danger of scalding.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
