I am new to the forum, my first post, hoping someone here can help with this issue.

2012 Freelander 2.2 diesel.

getting the P007A-17 error code as permanent, the charge air cooler temperature circuit, which I am assuming means the IAT sensor is knackered.

my issue is where is the sensor?

it’s not in my throttle body, the usual location is blanked- see photo.

I have a 4 wire MAF, some say the IAT is integrated in the MAF. I have been advised replacement is a. OS H part No. 0 986 280 700.

there is also a sensor in the inlet to the intercooler, it’s a Volvo branded part no 0 261 230 296, BOSCH equiv is 0 261 230 295. Depending on where you google this is described as a pressure sensor, a temperature sensor and some placed as a combined pressure/ temp sensor. My Volvo sensor only has 2 wires in the harness, so I am assuming it’s either a pressure or a temp sensor, but not both, as there are only 2 wires in the harness.

my chassis no is H282371. UK car.

appreciate guidance as to where the IAT is on this vehicle.

thanks in advance!
