Map Sensor

[Mr Plums]

Just a quick one guys, my map sensor keeps almost popping out as the o rings are buggered!

Is it a new genuine, or are the ebay copies any good or are there any other recommended ones?

Cheers

new o rings??

 

[Mr Plums]

new o rings??

Yea I think ill get some mate and fit them that's the cheapest option.

Its really easy to pop out too and ive had a couple of missfires under full boost and when ive had a quick look the sensor is almost hanging out.

Could this cause it to miss if its causing air leaks under boost?

It will be as a consequence of turboing it. You could tap two holes either side of it and use a bit of metal and 2 bolts to secure the sensor in place.

 

[bashracing]

yes that's the proper way

or pikey way is to smear the o ring with 'no more nails' sealant type stuff and shove it back in,
I have 2 standards on motor vehicle maintenance
1, My clio and other people cars, I never bodge
2, My second car/shed duties is held together with no more nails, cable ties, duck tape and monumental levels of bodging.

Will it be the result of more air flow etc?

The cheap ones are rubbish don't last 5 minutes.
I bought these o rings to replace the green one that had cuts in it.

Although you should ask the person that done the turbo as I am sure he would have a solution.

Hi mate, was this the size required to replace the green o ring on the map sensor?

Yeah

 

[Louis]

Yeah

Nice one.
I've just ordered a big set of green ones as I measured it to be 6.8 x 2 (ish). Are both the black and green the same? Weird they'd fit 2 different coloured ones

There`s more to "O" rings than meets the eye.

Yeah I know, but both go into the same place! Strange they'd use a HNBR and then what I presume to be a normal NBR?

There different sizes, the black one creates a seal and the green one prevents it being knocked out.
