NTK MA0079 Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor

NTK MAP Sensor for Volkswagen and Audi

The NTK Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor MA0079 is a direct-fit technical sensor for select Volkswagen and Audi applications. It measures intake manifold pressure to support accurate engine load calculation, fuel delivery, and drivability.

Built under NTK’s Sensor Specialist line, this MAP sensor reflects OE-focused engineering for import and domestic vehicles. The MA0079 is a practical replacement for vehicles such as the Volkswagen Jetta, Volkswagen GTI, Volkswagen Tiguan, and Audi Q5.

Key Features

• Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor for engine management systems
• NTK technical sensor line with OE application coverage
• Blade terminal design with 4 terminals
• 1 female connector, oblong connector shape
• 1 port configuration for direct replacement use
• Part number MA0079 for catalog and cross-reference lookup

Product Details

NTK MA0079 is engineered for vehicles that rely on manifold pressure input to calculate air load and optimize engine operation. NTK draws on OE sensor experience and validates its sensors through thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification testing. That focus helps maintain consistent signal output and fitment accuracy across supported applications.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition AS616 for the same application. It is also associated with OE-style references including 06L 906 051, 06L 906 051B, 06L 906 051K, and EC1998.
