They are a real pig to get out with the inlet manifold in place, I ended up cutting a spanner in half to remove the last one.
 
MAP in located in L/H side as you look at engine in underneath inlet manifold, were not the later ones fit into hoses

I'm confused now - but that's nothing new or unusual. :eek:

What is the sensor in the long turbo hose on the left of the intake ducting? :confused:

The one that the earlier models doesn't have - is that a temperature sensor? or a pressure sensor? is that the MAP? :confused:

From late 2003 the MAP went into turbo hoses, prior to that located in inlet manifold as previous post, hope this clears up location issue.
 
any way wherever it is or whatever it's called, if it's faulty or gunged up it can cause problems like the op's
 
edited to scrap .. was looking at the wrong engine type ( crap !!! )

Yeah - I've just been looking at Haynes too -

4A*8 is for petrol engines and shows a MAP - no mention anywhere of a MAF on the petrol.

4B*8 is for diesels and shows a MAF - no mention of a MAP on a diesel.

I conclude that my TD4 doesn't have a MAP.

I suspect that the sensor on the turbo hose is an air temperature sensor.

that's what i rekon ..
going by its ( internal ) appearance / construction ..
and similarity to the petrol version

( doesn't r.ron mention something about it on his website ?
( i'd go check .. but not right now :) ..

anyhow .. no way is that 'hose' sensor on my '06 be constructed in any manner as to measure 'pressure'
and .. the air-intake temp sensor (td4) via google search .. has same thread and wiring connections
sensor 'head' looks a bit different though in pics

~~~~~~
pic added .. ( from haynes '03/'06 )

air intake sensor from the petrol job
'boost' sensor from the diesel ( td4 i assume )

~~~~~~~~

if it weren't ****in' down outside at the moment ..
i'd take a torch 'n go look for that 'boost' sensor right now
( am sure i've seen it though )

'boost' / 'map' .. same thing i rekon ..

~~~

will no doubt find out for sure .. when 1 of them goes kaput 'n needs replacing ..

~~~~~~

re the OP .. keep wondering if the turbo-to-intercooler hose has gone a.w.o.l. ..
i.e. hose at bottom ..

anyhow .. hope it get's figured out ( and sorted :) .. one way or another

Gonna have to say. With descriptions, I'd be worried its the turbo itself! Loud whistling and over boosting! Happy Christmas:D lucky you've still got some testicles;)
 
FWIW, the MAF on the TD4 is on the end of the air filter.

The MAP is on the L/H side of the inlet manifold. Always has been, and always will be

The sensor in the long pipe was introduced in 03MY (IIRC) and is a temperature sensor

1.8 K-series does not have a MAF, only a MAP. On the early cars, it was internal to the ECU, and from 01MY, it was fitted into the inlet manifold

Hope that clears up any confusion.
 
I stand corrected about the sensor in the turbo pipes thought they had changed the position of the MAP due to the issue with them clogging up .

Thanks for that mate - and yes, it does clear up all confusion.
