To the folks who own BMWs, My ride is a BMW 520D F10 Saloon from 2010. It has been a very dependable vehicle for the eight years that I have owned it. This is the error message I received when I checked the car's code recently:
The Exhaust-Gas Temperature Sensor After the EGR Cooler Is Signalling an Open or Short Circuit to B+, Representing Error Code 260100
When it comes to automobiles, I lack technical expertise. I would be eternally grateful if someone in the community could shed any light on this matter for me.
Can you tell me which sensor this issue is pointing to? How do I locate it? There are a few YouTube posts that mention sensors, but they all seem to be different. The problem persists despite my replacement of the part located on the right side of the EGR cooler (part number: 1362 094142 02 / 7804177-02) in the front of the bay. It is said to be the one on the left side, underneath the engine bay, just next to the exhaust/DPF. Rumour has it that it's located behind the exhaust. Give me your thoughts on this, if you don't mind.
In anticipation, I'm really appreciative of your support.
