*HELP* 1.2 petrol skoda fabia

[ash94]

So I have a fault code - P0171.

 

I've been told it's a maf/map sensor. 

 

Where the hell Is it? 😂 

Thanks In advance.

Very unlikely  to be the sensor itself, more likely an air leak. Check brake servo vac hose as a first suspect. Often crack at the junctions of the hard plastic sections. Look and feel for such damage.

 

MAP sensor is on end of intake manifold near dipstick tube.

 

Some interesting absences from your battery-top fuseholder. 🤨

Thanks, Pete.

 

I'm not a mechanic by any means. Could you also tell me what/where the brake servo vac hose is? Really appreciate the help.

As for the battery top fuse holder, whats missing?

I got the car for nothing so I can't complain really.

The protective cover for the terminals on the fuse board - you really do not want to drop any metal object across those.

Brake servo is the round black thing on the back wall of the engine bay, behind the brake fluid reservoir.

The only hose coming from that to the engine is the brake servo vacuum hose.

 

I was referring to a couple of strip fuses as being mysteriously absent from the fusebox.

ABS pump fuse and one for radiator fans, I think.
