In this video, learn how to remove and clean the air pressure sensor located on the diesel engine of the Fiat 500X: it is situated behind the cylinder head cover, which needs to be removed by pulling it upwards. The sensor is located beneath the electrical connector shown in the video, and to remove it, you will need a T25 spanner, taking care not to drop the screw inside the engine.

Extract the sensor and proceed to clean it using a non-oily universal cleaner; be careful not to touch the central diaphragm inside, as it is very delicate. Allow it to dry thoroughly before refitting it.
