Wheres the manifold pressure sensor?

[Tall-Paul]

My cars had the VAG-COM treatment today (thanks to Ric 2001) And its got the following error: 17564 P1156 Manifold Abs.Pressure Sensor Circ. Open/Short to Ground

So does anyone know where the sensor is so i can check out the wiring?

MAP sensor.

Thats one one going into the Intercooler i think...

Yeh ive been reading up on it, i was expecting it to be closer to the manifold but it looks like its the one in the intercooler piping.

yep correct.

I thought it was the little sensor in the ecu at the end of the vacuum pipe. If im wrong, whats is the ecu one called?

 

[Tall-Paul]

Dunno, I think its somethin to do with this

It was a bit of a bodge job if i'm honest im going to solder it properly and it should work properly. VAG-COM says its not the sensor but a wiring fault.

I cant comment on the ecu sensor, all I know about is the MAF and MAP sensor

thats the altitude sensor

Yeah mate, as already said, the sensor is plugged into the FMIC. If its short, your car might randomly boost/ or limp until fixed mate.

If it is the sensor itself, its £30 from a stealer!

Im going to try soldering it properly first then im hoping it'll be fixed, otherwise I'll get the sensor.
