The Bosch 0261230266 is a precision-engineered Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor designed for select Audi, Bentley, Porsche, Seat, Skoda, Rolls-Royce, and Volkswagen vehicles. This OE-quality sensor accurately measures intake manifold pressure to provide the engine management system with critical data for optimizing fuel delivery, ignition timing, and overall engine performance.
Key Features:
- Integrated temperature sensor for combined pressure and temperature monitoring
- Pressure range: 11-254 kPa (0.11-2.54 bar) for accurate measurements across all engine load conditions
- Voltage output: 250-4750 mV for precise signal transmission
- 4-pin connector design with NTC temperature sensor element
- Special chemical-resistant coating protects against harsh intake manifold environment
- Advanced chip technology for superior accuracy and response time
- OE-identical connector ports and mounting points ensure trouble-free installation
Technical Specifications:
- Sensor Type: NTC pressure sensor with integrated air temperature sensor
- Number of Terminals: 4 (Ground, NTC, +5V, Pressure Output)
- Connector Type: Male rectangular with blade terminals
- Designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications
Common Applications: This sensor is essential for speed-density engine management systems that rely on manifold pressure readings rather than mass airflow sensors. It's commonly used in turbocharged and naturally aspirated European vehicles from 2002-2016.
OEM Cross References: Replaces Audi 038906051B, 038906051D, 03G906051D; Porsche 03G906051D; VW 038906051B, 038906051D, 03G906051D; Bentley 038906051D; Rolls-Royce PF100636PB; and numerous other OEM part numbers.
Symptoms of Failure: A faulty MAP sensor may cause rough idle, engine surging, poor fuel economy, loss of power, check engine light activation, and diagnostic trouble codes P0106, P0107, or P0108. Replacing a worn sensor with this genuine Bosch unit restores proper engine performance and drivability.
