where is intake air temp measured, 1.4 petrol

Post by flub136 »

Morning all. My intake air temp seems way too high. This morning the ambient air temp was 20°C but my indicated intake temp on my OBD computer was showing 57°. I have a suspition that the 1,4 55KW BKY engine does not have a seperate air intake temp sensor. If that is the case what sensor measures that temp? Cheers.

I think it may be combined with the MAP sensor, if the engine is idling it may be quite high but will be far lower while driving and will almost always be higher than the ambient IMO.

I'd agree with the above.
