V70: Engine Anyone removed this part...

[100K+]

Attached is an image of the MAP sensor from my 2014 V70 D5. ( its in LH 1/3 of picture stamped with Volvo and Part No. 0261230219.) Has anyone changed this, or removed to clean this. Came across a website suggesting it needed cleaning every 30K kms. or error codes will be stored. I only found one reference on this site but nothing in VIDA. Just curious...before I start to fiddle.

Cheers
Bob

Yes I've removed to clean only, as online pictures showed extremely dirty MAP sensors, however at 80k miles mine only had the faintest of accumulated oil debris to clean off. No noticeable difference afterwards.

This is my MAP sensor innards. Don't know if this is considered dirty or not but its what I have. Noticed a small round hole and a " crescent moon" hole at the base of the "cage" . Only worry now is where else is this black gunk accumulated in my engine....That's a worry for another day though.

PS to clean I scraped the black gunk off with a watchmakers screwdriver. Didn't know which solvent to use, and if it would adversely effect the sensor.

Mine was far worse than this. I held it so the cage pointed downwards and I used brake/clutch cleaner spray to get rid of gunk, then wiped down (gently) with a kitchen towel and waited until totally dried. I then used a split matchstick to flick away bits of stuck carbon. At 130k+ I don't think my car had EVER had it cleaned. I guess I'd hoped for a miraculous/noticeable change...didn't find that..but at least the sensor is very clean!! It was at this point I did wonder what state other relevant internal parts were in a similar state too!!!
