I have a 406 hdi 110 (2001)
I don’t know a great deal about cars, just enough to muddle by, had to have a new clutch fitted £500 because it has a MDF, any way I seem to have lost low rev’s power, plus the engine management warning light keeps coming on, also get an antipollution fault warning, so having a quick look round I noticed on the hose from the turbo to the intercooler, theirs another small hose leading to a switch of some kind, and this seems to have snapped off the hose, you can see where it should connect to the hose, can someone tell me what this switch is so I can get a new one, and could it be causing the fault, sorry to be long winded

Are you saying you just had the clutch done? I'm thinking that's not your problem...

Btw where's this sensor go?

hi steve
I thought it had nothing to do with the clutch, unless it had been knocked and broke
just been out to have a look again, it is on a small hose coming from the top of the intercooler,
keep trying to add a photo for you but it keeps timing out

if thats broken then no doubt ull be having a boost problem as this is the intercooler boost sensor 100% thats ur problem go to a scrappy and ull get one

Thanks modified406
intercooler boost sensor, i'll get one tomorrow,
Thanks for all your help

wee tip when takin it off make sure u get the original clip off carefully as possible as the wee lug bit is fragile

thanks for the tip,
done a temp repair, with a tube of super glue, to glue the little plastic pipe on, then put a small amount of araldite rapid, around the break to seal it, seems to be working at the moment, lol

Glad to hear you've got it sorted, at least for now


I think the bit you need is no. 18
Reference Description Quantity Price - VAT Price + VAT Total + VAT Selection
0000195769 MEASURE PIPE 2.16 GBP 2.54 GBP 2.54 GBP

the bit he needs is 16 as the small lobe comin from the sensor is broken 18 is just the boost pipe frm the intercooler to the sensor

I think 16 is the sensor.

yes 16 is the sensor but theres a small plastic pipe comin from the sensor that attaches to the rubber pipe the wee plastic pipe has broken off

Ah, with you now. Sounds like hope the araldite holds until one acn be liberated from the scrappy.....

I'll check the MAP sensor price tonight, anyway.

Not cheap - two versions listed, w/out EOBD diagnostics £45.27, £57.48 with scrappy it is then?
