MAP sensor

[samacus]

Has any one ever changed or had their map sensor changed? if so how much did it set you back and also was it just the sensor you had to buy or was it the whole unit?
Cheers sam

the sensor itself screws off, with two bolts/screws.

you can buy the uprated pipe for it in 60mm or 64mm from forge, but this doesn't include the sensor.

Sorry i think it is the MAF sensor not the map any ideas?

 

[-pseudonymous-]

The MAF is the black unit in the engine bay that is fitted between your airbox/filter and the turbo inlet pipe. The MAP sensor is situated in the intercooler pipe down near the passenger wheel arch/bumper.

For a MAF try your local GSF or Euro Car Parts dealer, they should do an exchange on your old unit for around £60-£70.

i found the MAF sensor for a cupra on the euro car parts but my car is a 1.4 s model will the sensors be the same has anyone got any pictures?

 

[Reuvers]

no it will not be the same.

MAP sensor and housing:

MAF

Just right of the manifold, between the 2 blue pipes going to airfilter

in this pic just next to the airfilter (black thing)

its held on by 2 clamps, and you have to unplug it.

But why do you think its broken or needs replacement btw?

Sure, its the most common thing to fail on these cars a long with the coilpacks but still...

Had i on the diagnostics said it was a faulty MAF sensor, my sensor looks different to them also i have no air filter so it is just in the standard place. ( down and left of the engine?)

 

[Reuvers]

what??

firstly, if you don;t have an airfilter then I would seriously get one quick. If you mean you have the standard airbox, then its still located there. There is no other place.

secondly, what code did you get exactly, because I don;t know the code "MAF faulty".

here is another pic of it close up:

it will always be there. maybe yo don;t have an aftermarket TIp fitted, so the blue hose would be black

It's the MAP sensor, Real bitch to get out cause somethings in the way if i remember correctly. Held into the manifold by two torx screws. Got to the dealer to get a new one.

what? again not true. The map sensor is the black pipe I showed in the pic above. It is held on with 2 clamps between intercooler chargepipe iirc (or is it between intercooler and throttle?)
anyway, its not connected to your manifold.

Read the thread he's got a 1.4.

banditmax is right it is in an akward place down the side of the engine my car is NOT A CUPRA, it is held in place with torx screws connected to the air box standard as foooook

 

[Reuvers]

Read the thread he's got a 1.4.

I did, he never mentioned that

Does the 1.4 even have a MAF sensor cos i really dont remember seeing one in my 3yrs of ownership

 

[Reuvers]

I keep forgetting you were one of the slow boys back in the day

[Myki da Pyki]

Yeh yeh i deserve that actually lol

I did learn tho an grab me a quick un'

 

[Myki da Pyki]

Wouldnt mind seeing a pic of this MAF sensor on the 1.4 cos i really dont recall seeing one so be interesting to see. I think i should have seen one aswel when i was doing this

 

[Reuvers]

I am still unsure if they are talking about the MAF or MAP sensor?

First the thread was called MAF and now MAP sensor?
