Boost sensor location on AUQ engine
« on: 13 January 2012, 12:33 »
Got a AUQ 180 BHP engine to transplant into my dads mk4 2.slow GTI

Donor car is running everything is sweet as a nut but I have fault code 16622 on vagcom which is boost sensor

Anyone know Where is this located on this engine ? We think it could be on the intercooler but not 100%.


Cheers

The boost sensor is the MAP sensor on the SMIC of the AUQ engine.

it is on the SMIC

out of interest are you using the AUQ ECU?

I have a problem with that fault code coming up occasionally, tried a few bosch MAP sensors and wiring loom was all ok, was going to swap the ECU but seemed to fix itself and had no fault codes for a good few months now.

Forge IIRC sell a flange that can be welded on to pipework for fitting of a MAP sensor

Yeah it's a common thing this code, think carbon can do a bug fix for it

I'm using the factory ECU and factory IC and map sensor location as its just going into a mk4 and as standard as possible just replacing a crap 2.0 8v for my dad

I choose the AUQ because it's 180 BHP rather than 150 and it's doubtfully my dad will map it.. Unless I get Craig to sort a cheeky one out ;/)

I have that forge pipe u mention on my mk3

Remap makes a lot of difference and is well worth it.
