Guys Any ideas what the part number is for the sensor that sits on the top of the nearside airbox?

Really? I thought they were on the manifold (engine side of the turbo)

Checked the Haynes bud they say its the map sensor

Cool. Just thinking that the air filter learning is probably tied into that sensor and the Maf on that filter. It then adjusts to suit
I wonder it its faulty and that is what caused the mpg to be better yesterday after the adaption and then back to usual Today????

The problem is if there is a problem to do with AI sensor's but no codes you could be into 2x Air flow meter's too and a lambda sensor

You may not have a problem, every thread ive read these s211 e280's and 320 cdi's with the v6 lump do 36 to 41mpg

Keith's car is mapped and is lighter

That's a scary thought :-S was expecting mid 40's certainly wasn't expecting it to be worse than my 4x4
