MAP ?

[johnnyrauder]

i have been looking for a 2 bar map for my 2014 pp. the dealer wants $142 (yea i know). so e-bay had one for $25 but the seller says it only fits up to 2012. i posted on fb and someone is willing to sell me theres but his is from a 2013 pp. will that work in my 14?

All 2010-19 map sensors are interchangeable. Whether 2 or 3 bar. Get from ebay if u like.

i was, its only $25 but the seller says it only fits till 2012. i wonder why he would say that. i tend to belive people on this forum.. also when i gave a dealer my vin. he said it was a special order.

Seller likely is misinformed, or has no clue altogether.

The only difference I am aware of, when it comes to those sensors, at least from a physical standpoint, is that early model year offerings were secured with two individual screws. One on either side.

Starting around that 2013 model year, the bean counters began monkeying with various things. Trying to cut costs wherever.

As such, the sensor in that year had a guide pin that protruded vertically out of/from the top of the intake plenum. FMC then used one screw to hold it down instead. Yes, one screw.

That's how ridiculous it became. Cost of one screw, at 'X' amount of units produced/sold.

I can't imagine it saved them all that much.

You are likely to get just as much c*** from a dealer as on eBay. Unless you know the parts counter person personally. Many have run into this issue before.

Don't knock it, in terms of volume, it can save a lot of money. For example, Levi cut production cost by removing 1 belt loop on their jeans. If I recall, it was worth about a penny saved. Across several million productions, it became several million saved. It does add up.

Is it dumb? Absolutely. You can thank shareholder primacy for that.
