Hi guys new to talkford thanks for the add . I've just purchased a 2007 smax 2.0 tdci 140 bhp it's got a p0183(00) code on it I've bought a new sensor but does anyone know exactly where it lives please I've looked all over and can't seem to find it tried Google but nothing comes up really . Any help is appreciated. Thanks p.s Love the car đźš—

Usually on the filter housing or fitted to the pump itself.

Before you change it, what fuel temperatures are you getting?

It maybe the air inlet or amnient air temperature that's causing the fault or a wiring fault.
You should investigate further before swapping parts.
Thanks mate. Its not picking anything up from the sensor it dosnt give a reading at all on the live data just gives a p0183(00) code and mpg is really low and when started cold it's abit lumpy . Thanks

These are the codes I'm getting mate no engine management light pops up just the car runs abit lumpy and mpg is really bad when the car starts been abit lumpy the engine sounds perfect no whooshing to say a pipe is split or anything else like that I will go plug back in and check the other sensors when it's started from cold you can just feel.it juddering slightly and it seems to cough every now and then it's not bad though passenger's hardly even notice it if you floor it though you can feel it hesitate I'm only asking as I don't mind getting dirty and I've worked on other cars it was supposed to go in today but the garage is saying next week now if its something I can sort out myself I'd rather just do it I've got all the tools
