Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I'm not entirely sure about the newer models but it should be in the throttle body, at least mine is ...

      If I had to guess I would say it's that little bit sticking out of the air pipe behind the oil cap, but then I really am guessing.

      If it has an engine or heartbeat it's going to cost you.

        Thats one of the crankcase breather pipes. Not entirely sure because i cant see the entire engine but it may be running a MAP sensor intstead. Whats the engine code of your car? Tell me and ill be able to answer your question.

                Ok. Its a map sensor that is also the air intake temp sensor and its located on the top of the intake manifold to the left of the oil filler neck.

                  Thanks for that FknDubbin. My question now is............if i were to replace my air filter with a K&N short ram system, would i have all those 'oil' related problems seeing as I have a MAP rather than a MAF?

                  Cheers

                    You shouldnt. Dont oil the filter too much. Thats never good for any type of sensor. The MAP sensor will just measure manifold pressure. Theres no metered air passing through any wires to foul it up.
