MAP sensor - fitted properly?

[Alex]

My MAP sensor popped out of the boost pipe this week. Thankfully I didn't lose the clip, but when I went to put it back in I realised the rubber O ring was missing.

I've replaced that, and I assume it disappeared while the car was in the garage (hence why it popped out). But even with a brand new genuine seal, the MAP sensor seems quite loose. I can't pull it out but it can move a bit if I prod it with my finger, and I can't remember whether it did that before.

Is it fitted correctly? Or should the clip slot through the collar on the boost pipe, as on the coolant sensors? Does yours wobble? I can't work out if the missing seal was the cause of it popping out, or a symptom.

Mine will wiggle if you wobble it, its certainly not slack (just checked for you)

TPS do the clips but they are plastic now which is what mine has.

I put two O rings in mine - firmed it up a great.

Yeah mine doesn't feel like it'll fall out but I'd have expected it to be firmly wedged in place and it isn't. I'm sure it's fine, but I'll keep a spare O ring in the glovebox just in case.

Thanks chaps.

That's the CO pot/inlet air temp sensor.

Facepalm. So it is.
