Is it not throwing and DTCs?

Maybe see if you can get a pressure reading off the two glow plugs that have the sensor on them? I think the CATA uses two of them..... if you see a major difference between those readings, it could potentially mean a hurt engine, and would warrant doing a compression test as next step.

Or just skip right to the compression test....
Compression pressures bar
New 28 … 33
Wear limit 21
Difference between cylinders max. 5

It should've registered soft codes at the very least pulling fuel due to EGT limit (I think it's 850 stock) unless they jack'd it in the tune.

i also had my pre turbo egt sensor fail no codes at all....lucky i had the exact same thing happen to my 2011 jetta so wasnt tricky to find.

I kid you not the day I started diagnosing the issue my 2014 jetta pre turbo failed outright all of a sudden. Flashing glow plug and codes. That's when I had the idea to check the touareg. Very much a coincidence but weird.

Also one thing annoyed me is the price.
Egt 1 sensor in the states is $73.85. In Canada.... $285!!??

Funny you say that. NOx sensors in Canada are like $1000, in the states they are like couple hundred bucks.
