Locating the Intake Air Temperature sensor on a Fabia SE 1.2

Featured Replies

I have a 2013 Fabia SE 1.2L (mkII, petrol 3-cylinder, and engine code CGPA). The engine management light came on, so I used my OBD gadget to investigate. It reported a fault code of P0110 - Intake Air Temperature circuit error. I'd like to start troubleshooting this but I don't know exactly where the sensor is, and I'm having difficulty finding sources online that explain where it could be in my particular model.

 

Can anyone who knows more about this model of Fabia help me locate it?

 

I've included some photos to show what my car looks like under the bonnet. Let me know if I can provide more info or pictures to help.

 

Much appreciated.

Welcome.

 

Someone will be along that knows stuff like an answer to your question.

 

?

When were the spark plugs last replaced and the air filter checked?

Combined with manifold pressure (MAP) sensor here, where giant finger is pointing. :biggrin:

Hey toot and thanks for the warm welcome.

 

Good question. I bought this car last September from a Skoda dealership. They did a service and MOT before I took it, so the filter ought to have been changed then. As for the spark plugs, I'll have to look through the previous owners' receipts. I'll probably just replace them and the air filter when I do a service soon anyway, at least for piece of mind (and the practice).

Thanks for the speedy reply, Pete. I think I see it now. Sorry for the noob question, but what's the correct way to disconnect the terminal from the sensor? Do you just lift the little tab and pull the terminal out?

Well done for asking rather than breaking it. 🙂

The knack is to apply pressure as if trying to connect, rather than disconnect, on the body of the connector, then pull the latch gently towards where the wires emerge.

It only needs to move a few mm before you'll hear a click and the connector will be free to pull off in the opposite direction to where you were just pushing.

 There are various youtube videos showing this if it doesn't make sense in my words, search for something like "vw connector removal".
