IAT Sensor 06B905379D Audi A3 A4 A5 Q3 Q5 1.8L 2.0L TFSI TSI
OEM Spec Fit Replaces 06B905379D
BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* intake air temperature (IAT) sensor to suit Audi A3 A4 A5 Q3 Q5 with 1.8L and 2.0L TFSI TSI engines.
The Audi 2.0 TFSI EA888 engine is the highest-volume application for this sensor in Australia. IAT sensor failure on EA888 (CJSA CNCD CPMB) is documented at higher mileage and typically presents as rough idle or cold-start hesitation. Dispatched same-day from Melbourne.
TO SUIT
Suits Audi A3 8V with 1.8 TFSI (CJSA CXSA) and 2.0 TFSI (CJXA CPMA). Also suits A4 B8/B9 with 2.0 TFSI (CNCD CPMB) and A5 8T/8W Sportback with 2.0 TFSI (CDNB CDLC). The Q3 8U and Q5 8R with 2.0 TFSI (CPMB CNCD) share the same sensor and mounting point. The A4 B8 and A5 8T 2.0 TFSI have a documented oil separator issue where oil mist from the crankcase ventilation coats the IAT element - replacing the sensor without addressing the oil separator often results in early re-failure. Verify OEM 06B905379D before ordering.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR
On the Audi EA888 Gen 3 2.0 TFSI the IAT sensor is mounted downstream of the throttle body in the intake manifold - measuring actual charge temperature entering the cylinders rather than air temperature before the intercooler. This position makes the reading more accurate for fuelling purposes but also exposes the sensor to oil contamination from the PCV system.
The 2.0 TFSI in A4 B8 and A5 8T is particularly affected by oil separator failures where crankcase oil mist coats the intake port and sensor element. Diagnosing IAT sensor failure on these platforms should always include inspecting the oil separator for excessive output before replacing the sensor alone.

What does an intake air temperature (IAT) sensor do?
The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor measures the temperature of air entering the engine and sends this data to the ECU. Cold dense air contains more oxygen than warm thin air and requires more fuel for the same combustion result. The ECU uses IAT data alongside manifold pressure or airflow data to calculate the correct fuel injection quantity and ignition timing for the current air temperature conditions. On many vehicles the IAT sensor is integrated into the mass airflow (MAF) sensor housing.
What are the symptoms of a failing air temperature sensor?
Common symptoms include poor fuel economy as the ECU miscalculates fuel delivery based on incorrect temperature data, rough idle or hesitation under acceleration, black smoke from the exhaust due to over-fuelling, hard starting particularly from cold, and a Check Engine light with IAT circuit fault codes P0110 to P0114. Some vehicles may also experience difficulty starting because the ECU cannot correctly calculate the cold start enrichment required.
How do I test an air temperature sensor?
The IAT sensor is a thermistor that changes resistance with temperature. With a cold engine (ambient temperature) the resistance is high - typically 2,000 to 3,000 ohms at 20 degrees C. As temperature rises resistance falls. You can test resistance with a multimeter at the sensor connector and compare against the temperature/resistance chart in your vehicle service manual. An OBD2 scanner showing an IAT reading that does not match ambient temperature when the engine is cold is also a strong indicator of failure.
Is the IAT sensor the same as the MAF sensor?
No - they are different sensors, although on many modern vehicles the IAT sensor is built into the MAF sensor housing as a combined unit. The MAF sensor measures the mass of air entering the engine using a hot wire element. The IAT sensor measures the temperature of that air using a thermistor. If you have a combined MAF/IAT unit that fails, you typically need to replace the complete assembly. Use the Vehicle Part Finder to confirm which type is fitted to your vehicle.
Can a faulty IAT sensor cause my vehicle to fail an emissions test?
Yes. An incorrect IAT reading causes the ECU to miscalculate fuel delivery, typically resulting in a rich running condition with higher CO and hydrocarbon emissions. An active fault code from the IAT sensor will also cause most roadworthy and emissions inspection systems to flag the vehicle as failing the on-board diagnostics check before exhaust emissions are even measured. Resolve any IAT sensor faults before presenting for an emissions test.
Does the IAT sensor need to be reset or calibrated after replacement?
No - the IAT sensor is a passive thermistor requiring no calibration or programming. It is a direct plug-in replacement. Clear any stored fault codes with an OBD2 scanner after fitting the new sensor. The ECU will immediately begin reading the new sensor data and adjust fuelling accordingly. If the vehicle has been running rich due to the faulty sensor, fuel trim values will self-correct over several drive cycles.
