Alright all
I just done a cossie management conversion on me rs turbo and i went to bolt me map sensor on the inner wing vertically and me mate said you can only bolt em on the bracket in the same position as a cossie with the multi plug and vac pipe pointin down! is this true or is me mate tellin fibs???

 

Hi,

It is true. The reason is to avoid water entrance on MAP.
It was a Ford campaign, at the beginning of RS.

Regards

 

2001ode,
but it wont arrect the performance and function of the sensor?? me car doesnt go out in the wet so it should be ok! sweet

 

Hi mate, i saw a transit van with a cossie engine and the map sensor was bolted verticaly on the bulkhead, so don't think it will cause running probs but no 100% sure..

 

it must be mounted as in a cossie - with the nipple vertically down. that is to stop fluid (water condensation or oil) collecting in the sensor that's present in the air in the inlet manifold (you mis-understood 2001ode, it's nothing to do with rainwater ).

do it once, do it right

 

Yes, ForeigneRS, I never said to avoid rain water entrance, just I said "to avoid water entrance", in fact water condensation.
But, where water condensation come from ? From the air, and from the rain.
Regards.
