no choice, needs software update and MAP sensor.

try putting a jump lead from the battery -ative to the engine block to rule out a bad earth
Did it the right way, but thanks for the reminder. CheersWhen connecting the jump leads did you put them to your car battery, incorrectly, or did you put the negative to the block
Thanks T for this definitive and authoritative statement. I take it then that it is the MAP sensor that is likely to have suddenly failed in the last few days and caused the cold start problem? And that it's nothing to do with the water temperature sensor, despite the red herring alert and the temperature gauge behaviour?no choice, needs software update and MAP sensor.
if software update is unavailable you will need a ECU to cure the temp warning, if you want of course. Voltage can and often does play a part in this.
I would advise monitoring the cars parameters (air/water temp etc) before splashing out on a MAP sensor or better still get one from scrapyard/lend of one from a friends car (its the 'L' shaped sensor held on by a torx 25 single screw)
