IAT sensor

chas01 · Aug 9, 2006

Can anyone help me locate the IAT sensor on a Freelander TD4 BMW engine?
Any pictures and advice would be welcomed

its part of the air flow meter, take the air box off, big black thing at the back of the engine held in with 5 5mm allen bolts, the air flow meter is on the left hand side (viewed from front) next to the air filter

Welcome new chap!
if you have a look back throu the post for anything to do with MAF, rons box, you'll find plenty of piccies and advice.
As clutchdust says, its part of the same component, so you cant just change the air temperature part

What do youi need to find that bit for? If you dont mind me askin.

normally if the inlet air temp is reading wrong then its because the air flow is wrong too, common for them to pack up

Mondo I have heard that you can replace the IAT sensor with a £5 chip and this will give you between 5-30bhp without losing fuel economy, so I wondered where the sensor was and if it is easy to get too.
