Quick question: does anyone have tips on how to replace the MAP sensor? It's in a tight spot.
Longer story:
2010 JSW TDI Sportwagen. Getting P0111 and P026A codes that I clear, then they come back within about 20-30 miles. Always come back on same stretch of my commute, downhill 60mph highway, 6th gear, light to no throttle. Seems to run fine, but I'm planning to take it on a 2500 mile road trip for its last hurrah before sell back and would rather do it without a MIL.
I have a new sensor and am trying to install, but can't figure out how to. It is mounted on a hard plastic pipe coming out of the intercooler, but the sensor is in a tough spot right next to and below the alternator. I can barely get my fingers in there to touch the sensor, much less get a hex key (Torx?) on it. Do I have to remove the whole pipe out the bottom first? Bottom hose clamp is easy, top hose clamp is accessible, but little harder to get a hand around. Then there is a finger on the hard pipe that mounts next to the accessory belt with a T30. I loosened up this T30 (captured fastener it seems) and undid both clamps, but this finger won't let go. Any tips appreciated.
Codes if you're curious. Don't mind the 2012 date. Actually pulled a couple days ago.
