VW Polo MAP Sensor Replacement

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.ย. 2024
  • Hey guys. This video is me changing out the MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) Sensor on my 2005 VW Polo 1.2. It is quite an easy job and requires little skill. I believe it is a similar process on the VW Golf, but obviously the sensor will be in a different position.
    From my channel title you can probably tell I am NOT a professional mechanic - instead I am just a guy with a camera documenting his experience in the hope to help others. There is limited information on the Polo so hopefully this will be helpful to others.
    A couple of years back I didn't have the courage to even change the wiper blades on my car, believing cars were just out of my depth, but now I do all sorts of repairs on my car. TH-cam has helped me greatly, through watching videos of all different cars and learning from others who are pretty amazing with cars - it has empowered me to work on my own car. I hope to add to the wealth of knowledge online with my peanut brain.

    Cleaning throttle body can disturb some parameters, but in time the parameters will self calibrate in the ECU. I had the same problem after cleaning the throttle body.

    Hello, I also cleaned the MAP sensor, it was more dirty than yours, the error code did not disappear, so I deleted with OBD2, you have good videos BIG LIKE

      @@uberscuba4796 I think basically any of them will work, as long as it isnt the cheapest one available. I bought mine from biltema. (A Swedish retailer that has stores in nordic countries) I think the model they sell is a rebranded chinese model, which is why probably most will work.

    If you experience difficulty undoing the connector, push it fully 'Home' first, then try again. If you're still struggling, heat gently with a Hairdryer and repeat

  • @Godsadvoc8
    @Godsadvoc8 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    As a caveat, not all models are fitted with a (mass air flow) sensor, many merely rely on your throttle body sensor, and vw dealerships are little help, as they will simply charge you the earth to solve a common fault that not even the manufacture has a definitive fix for. Best advice, check 1 of the many good forums, many of which people have put some good illustrations. Happy hunting.

      Mr GShocker Did you locate the throttle body? If it is a MAP sensor it will probably be near there. You might also want to check near the air filter if they used a MAF..

    i had similar issue engine running rough on idle also when accelerating, engine light came on, got error read replaced all sparks and coils ran great for a while then light back on and weird issue with accelerating going from 1st to 2 just really stuttery and lumpy, code read again and now lambda o2 sensor issue apparently possibly caused by first issues.

    • @messedupmechanic3607
      @messedupmechanic3607  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      You think it is a problem with the coils/sparks again?

    • @missionpassed4584
      @missionpassed4584 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Originally engine light came on, an error code lead to new sparks and coil packs all four, ran great for a bit then light back on and new code read as possible issue with lambda sensor mechanic reset code revved engine etc runs a little better but slightly jerky in low gear so maybe is lambda.

    • @messedupmechanic3607
      @messedupmechanic3607  7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi I have the same issue with my VW POLO 2006 petrol. My car will start fine in morning and it will run like 10 minutes without any problem,after that it will start to jerk and stall.Also it will work fine if i stop engine and restart.
    This is happening randomely after a cold start.
    The only code i found was 01314 and i changed the throttle body ,one week it worked well and again started the same problem.
    If somebody can help me to diogonise the problem will be appreciated😊
