After been in bmw they mentioned another manifold sensor which might be bad.

And they don't know what a map is and don't have it on there drawings:banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

same as the one from an e39 same spec but different no. as i tried it on my brothers e60 530d. can use it if ya want to try it

 

Is it the same as the pictures below? If it is and you can give it to someone going to the meet in Dubin ill give it a try, no harm before MED5 have a look.

 

Let Med5 have a look, its the most cost effective route to take.

 

I will be, but I was in with BMW today for prices and they couldnt find to unit. I have pictures of it here. They said they never seen it there before and its not in there diagrams so need to go back tomorrow. I took it out, cleaned the bit of dirt off the top and it changed nothing, still struggling to go over 4k rpm, so I unpluged it and revved. Went to 3500rpm???? pluged it back in and it didnt change. Then to its own accord jumped to 4k and then struggled to reach it when I tried again so it must be faulty. If I can try one this weekend and it solves the problem then I'm sorted.

Here is the unit below

And no sensor on the manifold to the rear

 

looks the same, will check in the morning

 

I pm'd you details of the guy heading to Dublin. Let me know if you can meet him

 

I think there is one on my manifold, on the back of the manifold.

 

did a bit of digging, the item that you have in your hand seems to be your MAP. Its not the same on the e39, different part numbers for the m57 and m57n's. Yours is 13617787142, which is listed specifically for the 330cd and not the 330d.

The one from the e39 is 13622246977 which is listed for the e39 and e46 330d but not the 330cd. I wonder what the difference is.

 

e39's are on the back of the manifold. scotts in on the side. diff no's but my e39 one worked in my brother e60 !!

 

ya looks like the shape of it and the mounting of it is different. as mine and the e60 530d are both in the back of the manifold and yours is in the side...

 

Im gonna get a new intercooler first. If it does not fix it I'll get the map and test it. I'll be in Cork for work on Thursday but think it will be the south west...

 

new intercooler..... problem with your old one or up grade?

 

The old one is leaking. So I'll see if that makes the car boost then die. A bit weird if it does. More like a maf or map issue...
