In this guide, learn how to clean the MAP sensor on a Nissan Qashqai. Start by removing the cover from the engine block, where you will immediately find the absolute pressure sensor next to the throttle body.

It measures the pressure in the intake manifold, and the ECU manages the correct amount of diesel to send to the injectors. If the sensor is dirty, the readings will be incorrect, affecting the information sent to the ECU. It is advisable to clean it alongside the EGR, as they are located close to each other.

First, disconnect the electrical connector, then unscrew the fixing screw and remove the sensor. Clean it with a specific product that leaves no residue, such as WD-40 for contacts.

You can find it for £9.99 on Amazon with code B00GTV24JE, with free delivery for Prime customers. Allow it to dry thoroughly, apply a drop of oil to the sides, and refit it: replace the bolt and reconnect the plug.

Job done.
