Hi, can anyone tell me where the pressure pipe off the maf sensor goes please?

Under the air manifold opposite number 4/5 near the rear put your finger under and feel for the little tube that sticks out

Type and year of car and engine type would help. Assuming it's a diesel, I expect you are actually talking about the MAP sensor located on the fuel filter? If so, the pipe goes to a spigot under the inlet manifold, the exact position depends on year, plastic or alloy manifold.

It's a 1998 2.5 BMW engine and it's plastic manifold.

I had feel but I couldn't feel it.

I had feel but I couldn't feel it.

It's recessed a bit but it's there around cylinder 5.

As I suggest go have a feel there should be one going from the bulk head egr Solinoid the one behind your air compresor box the two pipe plug in next to each other under the manifold .

 

[leetwin]

How many pipes are under there?

 

[leetwin]

Sorry for all the questions, I'm afraid I know very little about cars!

 

[Grit Valve]

Two one for the map that's the one from the fuel filter to the manifold and the other is from the egr Solinoid look at the egr tube follow it to the bulkhead then follow the other pipe to the manifold that is where the other tube is waiting for you pipe

Picked a nice motor as an introduction to diy mechanics

 

[wammers]

One pipe fitted to manifold. Feel for a boss about 12 mm in diameter the nipple for the MAP sensor pipe is inside that.

That's ok how did you know it was missing then

Why FFs complicate things by introducing pipes that are clearly not relevant?
There are loads of pipes if you include the EAS, fuel etc.

 

[leetwin]

I see, thanks Has anyone got any pictures or diagrams I could have a look at please?

 

[leetwin]

It's very very sluggish and is struggling to change gear, would this cause this?

It could, so could a lot of other things including turbo pipes. The pipe should be obvious if it's there, it goes from the front of the fuel filter housing to the manifold and is pretty obvious.

 

[leetwin]

There's no pipe at all on there by the thing ont the fuel filter. As I said I'm no mechanic but you can see there's a pipe missing from it

Its a simple instruction if you follow the pipe that's where the other one is waiting does he know what a boss is why not say a circle with a tube nipple for a pipe to go on

What are you on about? The EGR VAC pipe is nowhere near the MAP pipe on mine.
