The hp pump leaks when cold as a rule , when one of seals go , could not find the leak visually , local cowboy did mine a bosch service centre , source of replacement pump was dodgy , he had to replace it after 4 months :eek: which has been fine , touch wood since !

Sorry to hear its gone , good luck with your next motor :)

Map sensor also !

you will need a special torx socket to remove the 2 screws holding the maf , been covered on here have a look

I have not calibrated my scangauge for the mpg function , as for the map gauge up until the sensor was replaced read 0.0 to 15. , then I read on here ambient psi was 14.6 , and normal driving should show 17 psi + , so then realised the sensor must be duff , I use mph , volts , water temp and...

Disconect it , that will show if you if it need a new one !

As already said , and I will have do mine again it can trap a lot of crap !

Hi , cheapest I could find on flea bay , maltings off road doncaster , some were £78+ , I cleaned the gunk out of the intake manifold 2 to 3 years back and I reckon the map sensor was duff then , got a scangauge last november , good bit of kit , its been useful :)

Its a anti ministry device to stop them dipping the tank for red diesel :D

Fitted last night , took about 1 hour , went on a test run and found no change :eek: idle read 0.0 , foot down max 15 + psi :( this am checked my scangauge for fault codes , none pending , none found , there was a force clear prompt , so I did ....... jackpot the new sensor was working idle...

I would block the air holes on the main tubes that allowed water in on mine , one on each side , if your new cradle has them , have recently repaired mine for the mot ! Posted pics earlier this month.

+1 :(

+1 , I leave mine to idle for a while before switching off :)

Hi all just received a new map sensor to fit , cost £50 new with 2 year warranty , will fit and report findings , max boost pressure shown was 15 on my scangauge , but has been erratic !

Mine was £36 from local factor , smaller than the original and still in good order after 14 months :)

Could be diesel , leaking from the hp injector pump , that runs out from the lower pulley to the sump , hard to see actual leak source , the pump is behind the alternator , leaks when cold gradually gets worse !

This was on shed of the day recently , captioned everything but the kitchen sink , one way to transport a fridge freezer :D

The design is very complex for what it is , poor quality steel used , the flat plates trap water also , good job the tank is plastic ! If you can make them I will defo have one :)

Repaired in situ , with P38 filler , the paint is allegedly rust beater :D out of the three colours they do could only get beige !

Had to repair my cradle again for the mot , was bad for one year since last repair , due to water in the tubes :eek: have now filled in the two air holes in each tube and hoping that's the cause of water entry , the repair was up to mot standard as it passed with no advisories :) took me five...
