WTF is a "thrust intake pressure sensor"?

[flusted 0]

Just taken a polo 1.4 98 model to our local stealers as it occasionally stalls.

Theve told me its the "Thrust intake pressure sensor" and quoted £175.89 to change.

Has anyone got a clue to what 1 of these is and how much a new 1 is and is it easy to change?

Theve also quoted £61.10 to clean the throttlebody :shock:

 

Any help much appreciated

Sorry but it’s not a MAF, it’s a Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor and Inlet Air Temp (IAT) sensor all in one. Very prone to going wrong and one I did last week on a Fabia (am I allowed to use that word on here?) meant removing the inlet manifold.

Cool, how much is 1 of these badboys guna cost? Do i need to remove the inlet manifold on it?

shouldn't have to . and can get them s/h. dont know how much new, do a search on the gsf or euros site.

For a 98 Polo 1.4 with either an AFH or AFK engine, it is 036 906 051 which costs £138.94 inc. VAT from VW. You don't have to remove the manifold on that one.

Just done another this afternoon. I tried to get a pattern one (the lass was a bit low on funds) and my supplier advised me not to, he said buy genuine-so I did.
