MAP sensor f4

From the manifold they clogged up, all you have to do 9 times out of 10 is remove them and wipe them clean.

Thank you very much everyone found where it goes. I've had 2 L-Series Freelanders and know that motor inside out, first TD4 though.

What should we pay attention to when removing the MAP sensor? Do we need to pull the wire shown in the picture upward? Most importantly, what should we use to clean it, and should we squeeze it into the hole?

You press the spring clip to remove the plug from the MAP sensor, wipe it clean with a rag only sprayed with brake cleaner on the rag only, do not poke or spray anything into the hole of the MAP sensor.

They can be removed from the side of the manifold while it is in situ but it's a fiddly job, seeing that the MAP sensor would need cleaning the so would the manifold so it's best to remove that along with the EGR .

Thank you for your valuable information. I have a few questions about the manifold process. My manifold bolts are very tight. I want to try lubricating them with WD-40 a day in advance and then removing them when the engine is cold. However, one of the eight upper bolts on the manifold is already stripped. What can I do about this?

The top 8 upper bolts are captive and 10mm so a good six sided socket is the best tool for the job, no WD-40 should be needed, they screw into a brass collet which in turn is pressed into the plastic cam cover.

Crack open the 8 bolt/screws, then next crack open the lower four 11mm nuts, and one 11mm bolts to the left of the manifold.

Next undo and remove the EGR special clamp.

Prise out the rubber grommet from the side of the manifold that goes to the fuel rail.

Move the two hoses from the side of the manifold and then press the spring clip and push down the MAP sensor plug with a screwdriver.

All the manifold bolts and nuts are now ready to be removed, remembering the top ones are captive.

hook out the nuts.

Remove the left long bolt.

Manifold is now ready to lift from the engine.

Don't worry that the engine bay looks different the photo are from a Rover 75 diesel with the same engine, regarding the manifold removal.

Hopefully the manifold and EGR will not be as bad as this one below, mind i have seen worse.

MAP sensor may look like this one.

It needs to look like this.

Wipe them clean with a rag soaked in brake cleaner, no poking down the hole etc.

Manifold and EGR may well need a cleaning out.
