Product Information
Full details
The CI Air Intake Temperature Sensor (XEMS285) is designed for automotive technicians and DIY enthusiasts maintaining vehicles equipped with 1.2 PureTech engines. Its primary benefit is providing the engine control unit (ECU) with precise temperature data to optimize fuel injection and ignition timing, which improves overall combustion efficiency. While it is a robust and reliable replacement part, users should ensure their vehicle's specific engine code is listed as compatible before installation, as sensor calibration is sensitive to specific engine requirements.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What does the Air Intake Temperature Sensor actually do?
It measures the temperature of the air entering the engine, allowing the ECU to adjust fuel injection and timing for optimal efficiency.
Can I use this sensor on a non-PureTech engine?
No, this specific part (XEMS285) is engineered for the specifications of 1.2 PureTech engines and may not function correctly with other engine types.
Does this sensor come with a new seal?
Yes, the XEMS285 includes the necessary components for a proper seal within the intake manifold.
How often should this sensor be replaced?
It is not a standard service item but should be replaced if you experience poor fuel economy, engine hesitation, or if an OBD2 scan identifies a fault with the intake temperature circuit.
Is any special software required for installation?
No special software is required for the installation itself, though an OBD2 scanner is recommended to reset the ECU error codes.
Troubleshooting
Check Engine Light (CEL) remains on after installation
Use an OBD2 diagnostic tool to clear the stored fault codes from the ECU memory.
Rough idling or engine stalling
Verify that the oval connector is fully seated and that the wiring harness is free of corrosion.
Sensor not fitting into the intake housing
Double-check that the old O-ring or gasket was removed from the intake manifold port before inserting the new sensor.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ensures peak fuel efficiency by providing accurate intake data
- High-quality construction for long-term heat resistance
- Precise fitment for 1.2 PureTech engine platforms
- Simple installation process for standard maintenance
Cons
- Compatibility limited primarily to 1.2 PureTech engine models
- Requires careful handling of the connector pins to avoid damage
- May require an OBD2 scanner to clear old error codes after installation
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation Steps:
- Ensure the engine is completely cool before starting.
- Locate the existing intake temperature sensor near the air intake hose or manifold.
- Gently release the locking tab on the oval connector and pull it free.
- Unscrew the old sensor and replace it with the XEMS285, ensuring the seal is properly seated.
- Reconnect the electrical harness until it clicks.
Compatibility:
This part is specifically designed for 1.2 PureTech engines and is compatible with OEM parts 9800206480 and 9807198480. Always verify your vehicle's service manual or part number against the CI XEMS285 specification.
Care:
Keep the sensor tip free from oil and debris. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents on the sensor tip, as this can degrade the internal thermistor.
