Error codes P0106 and P0638 Seat Ibiza 53 plate

[seat53]

Hi Lads,

Sorry for the long post

The car is my daughters who is in Australia at the moment and it has been parked up at my work place for 5 months, she is due back in the next 3 weeks and was just wondering from this Forum if I could resolve two error codes P0106 and P0638


Seat Ibiza 1.4 SE 53 plate.

P0106 “Probably MAP Sensor needs replacing” info from goggle
P0638 “Throttle body needs cleaning” info from goggle.

Car EML been coming on and off for about two years, car seems to be running ok. She has had the car a couple times in at the local independent garage that we know and they could never find any errors from the ECU (EML intermittent).

Now that it has been park up (I have been ticking it over every two weeks to keep the battery good ish) it finally died last week. So I got a battery charger and charged it for 8 hrs…all-good car now turns over but EML on.

So fair play to a mate at work who has the software and cable to connect to car and does a live reading so now we have the two codes.

How easy is it cleaning or replacing above parts, I have very limited mechanical skills but willing to have ago if not to complicated. Any detail instructions with pictures would be good.

Thanks for reading

Kind regards

Anyone ever changed the MAP Sensor on a Seat Ibiza 1.4 SE, or will it have to go to garage.

P0106- manifold absolute. pressure/barometric pressure circuit

P0638- throttle actuator control range/performance

according to obd2 codes app

Hi Scott,

Thanks for reply

P0106- manifold absolute. pressure/barometric pressure circuit = Would this be easy to replace on a Seat Ibiza 1.4 se (where is it and what tools would I need?

P0638- throttle actuator control range/performance = cleared the codes and only P0106 came back, my mate said it may need cleaning (throttle body) (again where is it and how easy is it to clean).

Thanks

lol

i know where the throttle body is its just under the airbox and the airbox rubber pipe sits over it,

Dont surpose you know where the map sensor is??

Speaking to a mate and he said it may not be the map sensor it could be an air leak that in turn will throw the code for map sensor.

So will leave it for now unless its an easy fix

thanks for your reply
