How much of a difference do you notice before and after?
Fuel mileage loss, fix = clean the Map Sensor again.

I might just buy a couple of them and replace it every 12 months while cleaning every six months.
I have never had to do such a thing to any other vehicle I have owned. I have never owned a boosted car before.
Cheers.

That's pretty significant!Between 1 and 1.5L/100 kms
I wonder what mine looks like after 194K miles.
What browser are you using?Pullitoutandtakesomepicstoletusallknow....
WHY is this mess still happening?!?!?!!? I shouldn't have to retype my comments or anything like that to get the space bar to work properly!!! VERY FRUSTRATING!!!!:$#angry:
I like the info/content of this forum, but the forum itself is severely lacking compared to others I am on!!!!
Pull it out and take some pics to let us all know...
I will report this all to AG. Hopefully they can do something about it.
I've never even looked at mine in nearly 200K miles.
One of the things I set out to do on this car from the beginning was to do as little as possible on things like this, so that I could observe how long it takes things to get gummed up. I was fully expecting issues at 60-80K miles with sensors gunking up, based on data from other diesels like BMWs and VWs. So far, I'm pushing 202K miles and have not had any issues as a result of intake/sensor gunking up.I took mine out today and gave it a clean with canned air and MAP cleaner. Mine was not as sooty as the others I've seen on this site, but maybe it's because the car has 27,000 miles on it. I couldn't really notice any difference in drivability, and I agree that without data (such as from the Scangauge), any before-and-after comparison is going to be pretty speculative. Nonetheless, it's a pretty easy thing to check and clean from time to time.
As for drivers like Diesel, who've gone forever without cleaning it...I imagine that under normal operating conditions, the sensors accumulate only so much soot and that the operating parameters of the sensors are designed to accommodate that. Just like EGR systems; they may look all yucky and gross, but that's just part of the design, and that's how they're designed to work.
To comment on the fuel economy, I have noticed that it's not quite as good as it was when new, but not far off overall.
Not at all. I change oil, fluids, filters, etc per a strategy appropriate for my driving. I am talking specifically about not doing things like removing sensors to clean them, removing the intake to burn out the carbon, removing and blasting the cylinder head valves with walnut shells, etc. I don't think any of that remotely falls into PM. And so far, for 202K miles, my strategy has worked just fine.:blush::not_worthy::signs015:
No offense, but is this also like not changing the oil to see how far you can go before things get gummed up?? Personally I follow a PM PLAN, especially after owning several different diesels over extended miles and years. There is nothing like cranking it up and just going rather then rrra...rrra...rrra, O shXt I should have...??
