Xantia 1.8i 16V Map Sensor

Is it just me or is this quite a tricky sensor to replace?

I can see it but access is difficult.

Anyone changed theirs and able to suggest tools and angle of access?

Any replies appreciated.

Quarter drive ratchet and 10mm socket, unplug the connector first. Once the bolt is loose, unscrew by hand and have your magnetic tool nearby as either it or the 10mm socket can easily fall behind your starter or alternator.

Thank you addo.

I struggled to get the plug off.

I will give it another try.

Try to find a small ratchet tool since there is not much space there and the removal is done in "blind folded" mode.

According to Haynes the intake manifold must be taken. I have removed and installed without removing the intake manifold.
