the map sensors are different between mk2 and 2b so we always swap manifolds over just in case its an issue
not had a problem with crank sensors yet
are you sure it wasnt one of the last 2b's with the even later 8 valve engine with different rocker top?
No, it definitely occured before the arrival of the EVO version with the 8-bolt rocker cover. Only other thing I can think of is if it were a mis-build or possibly a 1.2 16v bottom end designated for another model. Either way, it's something to watch out for, but easily got around if you come across it.
ePer lists only one Map sensor part number available, although delving deeper shows it was a supercession from the earlier part, so it looks like there's no difference other than age/manufacturer.
