Hola a mi crossfire le cambiaron la bomba del agua y al dia siguiente de cambiarsela, se me ha encendido la luz del motor, y el error que marca es el P0106. Alguien sabe cual es? Gracias
Look to see if the vacuum line in broken, or disconnected behind the sensor. This sensor is attached to the plate on the front of the engine, you had to remove the plate to get the water pump in and out (2 bolts). You probably didn't even touch the sensor and left it attached to the plate, however there is a vacuum line behind the sensor. It is very difficult to see, shine a small but powerful flashlight behind the sensor to see if there is a vacuum line coming out of it. When my car did this I could only see a small piece of the hose left on the back of the sensor. Remove the sensor (1 bolt) and find the vacuum hose that is broken or disconnected behind the sensor. I had enough hose left to reconnect it. Put the senor back on the plate and reset the check engine light and drive to see if the light stays off. I just fixed mine today, it took 4 months to find this problem! Since I never touched the vacuum line and it is hidden behind the sensor it is difficult to find. I finally found a picture at a Mercedes forum showing the vacuum lines on the front of a similar MB engine. It mentioned the "hidden" vacuum line behind the sensor, or I may never have found it. The Mercedes owner had also just put in a water pump. I think as the cars get older the hoses are getting brittle and breaking instead of bending.
I got a P0106 and check engine light on the xfire. Does someone have a picture of where this is located so I can see if it is the hose or the hose that is attached. and if the hose how easy to replaced.
In the center of the picture below is the Manifold Absolute Pressure sensor (MAP). It looks like it has a round blue sticker on it. A hose connects to it on the back side.
If your talking about the MAP Manifold Air Pressure sensor it is located just to the left, bottom of the air pump on the front of the engine.
Thanks Toolman and zip439, one further question the hose that connects to the MAP, how easy is it to replaced and what size if you happen to know in case the hose is also brittle since all the hoses are original.
My MAP hose is also looking fragile so I'd like to replace it. Were you able to replace yours? Any details? Thanks.
Turns out this forum had some good details and I got the vacuum hose swapped out. The MAP hose passed through a sleeve along with another hose so to thread the new one, I cut off a golf tee, inserted it into the old hose and the new one and pulled the new one through the sleeve.

I was able to replace mine along with the hose that connected to it. It was fairly easy to locate see the post from BMWbiker, Toolman and zip439. I was able to find the MAP on Amazon for Mercedes
