wkdtime Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Im having idle problems and poor fuel consumption, o2 sensor is giving me abnormal readings when warm, just out of curiosity where is the map sensor located? does it have any hoses attached to it? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 There was a thread very recently pointing it out. Its on the engine side of the intake plenum. A 1way valve out of the block runs a hose to the sensor mounted in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Usmann A Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 hard to point out without pics, but look at you inlet manifold, the log on the left hand side of bay(as alex says) now on the left hand side of that log, there will be a small black plastic sensor bolted to it with two bolts. it will say turbo pressure etc, on it. it will have a small pipe coming out of it underneath. its around the intake cam cover side bro. thats the best i can do bud, w/out pics. LOL hth does the car smoke black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 hard to point out without pics, but look at you inlet manifold, the log on the left hand side of bay(as alex says) It's on the right as you look from the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Usmann A Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 afraid not dude. look exactly on the other side of the engine, intake side, thats turbo side ur on. that is your IACV VSV IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prof. Monkey Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Hello, I am sure that the MAP sensors should be the same for the NA as well as the TT. If it is: Looking at the engine from the front, look over to the right, just below the windscreen bulkhead (where the wiper arms attach) there is a little box with a pipe going into it, with a 4 wire loom coming away from it. Its the same level as the brake booster pipe (the one that comes from the Intake plenum) that goes across the back to the servo - well opposite side this little box should be. I will dig my camera out.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prof. Monkey Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 Damn the TT has it here? They are the same though, different locations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkdtime Posted May 9, 2006 Author Share Posted May 9, 2006 afraid not dude. look exactly on the other side of the engine, intake side, thats turbo side ur on. that is your IACV VSV IIRC. No i have actually found the map sensor and yeah its on the trubo side. But the one i highlighted could you tell us what that is and if it should have something connected to it??? looks like somethign should be connected there.

Guest Usmann A Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 bud the MAP(Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensor is not on the turbo side, its the intake side where prof money has circled the pics above. it senses intake manifold pressure AFTER compressing/intercooling, shows what the motor is consuming. edit, unless urs is in a not STOCK location?
