CLA 45 2015

Im trying to tune my friend car. but we are having an issue with higher IAT reading . the car never goes below 77c at normal drive. And at wot it goes to 128c.
Any body had an issue like this. I had to decreased the power of the car to avoid engine knock.

I also searched around to see how the IAT of CLA 45 looks like but i can't fine a clear pic of it.
some of the pic i found for Map sensor only but im not sure if the iat interoperate with Map sensor or no.

Where is the IAT location?
How does it look like the one in CLA?
How can i solve the issue of higher reading?


Thank you in advance

We finally found the location of IAT sensor. I guess the issue might be from the inter-cooler.

may i post a query
how close is it to the intake plenum?

It's on the back of the engine.
Here is the link.

the issue might be also from the cooling pipe.
My friend bought it 2nd hand and it looks like the 1st owner miss up the pipe of the coolant.
We will double check all the coolant pipes
O I C
