  Intake air temperature sensor, location Engine 104, 111 (HFM), Engine 119, 120 (ME1.0)
IMPORTANT
On engine 104 ME, 111 ME, 112, 113,137 the intake air temperature sensor is integrated in the hot film mass air flow sensor.
GF07.04-P-2100-01F 
  Intake air temperature sensor, task Records the inlet air temperature and sends a signal to the engine control unit. The signal is used for calculating the air mass. The amount injected and the point of ignition are influenced.  
  Intake air temperature sensor, design Plastic housing with a NTC resistor, 2-pin plug connection  
  Intake air temperature sensor function The NTC resistor integrated in the intake air temperature sensor, alters its electrical resistance in line with the intake air temperature.
NTC means Negative Temperature Coefficient; which means that the electrical resistance drops as the temperature increases.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
