Hello! Past few days I've noticed that glow plug lamp on instrument cluster is blinking ocassionaly. Used VCDS and got this faults:

Does someone knows the part number of that Exhaust Gas Temperature Sensor 4 Bank 1? I will change the glow plug because it is cheap but this sensor is very expencive. I would like to know which sensor is faulty so I could try to find the same one on ebay or elsewhere. Maybe I could try to repair it somehow?
Thanks, and forgive me on my bad english.

soooo... how bad would it be to just cut the probe wire instead of removing by unscrewing the probe from the exhaust? is it only 2 wires? Could I just cut and then reattach once the new board was installed? Also - what type of soldering iron and flux needed to do the job? I never soldered before so want to know if I could just cut these out and bring it to someone who could solder for me...

I ordered a pair of boards from Andrzej, he returned all my emails within 12 hours...so far so good. He said 10-24 days for them to get to California, I hope it's on the shorter side because I'm eager to get this car back on the road. But, it beats the heck out of $500+ for new sensors.
I also saw that someone is selling EGT delete resistors on eBay for $40, they are complete with plugs. If I can't make Andrzej's boards work that will be my next step, risky I suppose for damage to the cat but at this point I am about ready to park this money pit on the railroad tracks anyway.
I pulled the boxes today and cracked them open, and found that one of them was likely replaced at some point. As you can see, the boards look very different. By my understanding they need to be replaced at the same time, but I also haven't heard a good reason why. I had already started scraping the silicone dog snot out of the passenger side box in this photo.

I installed the boards, cleared the codes and everything seems back to normal!! Yahoo boost! The board was a bit tricky to fit in the red box without having the pins on the box touching any part of the board, but hopefully the RTV will hold it and keep anything from shorting. Big thanks to Andrzej for his awesome product and prompt service!

Drove about 100 miles and the CEL light went on. Pulled the codes:
P1136: Bank 1 System too lean
P1138: Bank 2 System too lean
P1557: Charge Pressure control: Positive deviation
I cleared the codes, drove another 75 miles and no new CEL. I'm guessing that since the mixture was running rich before, the computer is now seeing the correct mix as too lean? Same situation for the Charge pressure?

About to order 2 new boards. I've had both egts throwing open short codes for years now. Car runs just fine. Gets proper boost and has driven 20k lol. I just don't want to see the codes anymore. It's the only codes on the entire system. Not bad for a 13yr old car
