Many thanks

There is a MAP sensor bolted into the inlet manifold with two bolts. You can find it facing the RHS (drivers side) of the engine - there are two maybe torx headed bolts and a reusable O-ring, so maybe get it out and clean it with carb cleaner. Currently I have an older variant fitted (bought used from Ebay), so should really refitted the cleaned original part. Try removing the throttle body and gentle cleaning it and the EGR port on it or the interface plate if fitted as it will probably be blocked, maybe search this forum for some of my previous postings to see if they are of any use to you. I even bought a new oil separator - a bit expensive but it cut back the oil usage - car has just passed 100K mark today and we have owned it from new (Sep 2002), still plenty life/miles left in it - I think!
