G247 Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

[h4rdy]

Just to let everybody know you cannot fit a BWA(KO3) G247 into a BYD(KO4) engine.

Something to do with single point signal on the BWA and two point signal on the BYD.

If you have the BWA G247 in a BYD you will get a 'lean at idle' fault and 24mpg even on a long run.

I hope this helps everybody.

Did this fix your fault?

[h4rdy]

I am not sure yet but my MPG has gone from a 23mpg average to 36mpg average so its looking likely.

Do I dare work out how much its cost me in fuel

[h4rdy]

The one on the left is a BWA and the one on the right is a BYD:



Which reminds me must get the Wartner out

[cupra_k1]

Do you have both part numbers to hand mate?

[h4rdy]

I can get the BWA but not BYD as its on the car.

Ill have a search I may have the info at home from the original fault.

[danishmkvgti]

Wouldn't this not be dependant on what ECU you are running?
BWA ECU and BYD engine would mean running the G247 of the BWA right?

[h4rdy]

I have no idea.

This information is for cars with the engine that it was originally supplied with.

Somebody else will need to provide that information.

[danishmkvgti]

The engine doesn't care what sensor it has, it's the ECU that uses the info from the sensor, so if you have a car originally equipped with  BWA engine you need to use the G247 from that engine when changing to for instance a BYD or BHZ

Thanks and I'm not being funny but I think that's fairly obvious

My reason for bringing this up is your first post stipulates that a certain sensor in a certain engine code isn't a viable solution, that IMO is wrong.
You need to match sensor an ECU

Was this not Illyun's problem way back on his Ed30.

Under a technical bulletin VW had fitted the wrong sensor which led to massive lean running problems.

This  forum isn't just for modified and I would say more than 99% don't change their engine for the BYD.

As I said its for cars with their original engine/ecu .

If it had turned into this I'm not sure I should have bothered.

I think that was a factory fitted sensor to the incorrect spec not the wrong engine/ecu sensor.

I say this because the light would have come on at standard and faulted like mine did.

Please don't feel that, i find it good that you mentioned it but just wanted to make the message clear. I do in no way mean to be annoying bitchy.
