I have. 2015 a4 b8 2.0 tdi.
It’s been having issues for a few weeks going into limp mode. Eml and flashing glow plug light. It went into Audi for a recall so they diagnosed the fault at the same time and tell me it’s the boost pressure sensor however they want nearly £400 to supply and fit.
I can buy the part for £55 and I’ll have a go at it myself.

Can anyone give me some insight into the location of the boost pressure sensor or a diagram.

Any info is much appreciated.
 
Hi mate,

May I ask what the recall was for? I'm in a similar position with my 2015 C7 A6. Mine had a DPF failure, now I'm also getting an EML and flashing glow plug light followed by a P0236 - Turbocharger boost censor A Circuit range performance, as far as I can tell there is a boost pressure sensor on a metal bracket attached to the inlet manifold, can't really miss it, it's on the passenger side. Reason why I think it may be this one is because apparently there was a wright up on another forum about these failing, could worth checking to see if this is the one they are referring to. Is your car permanently in limp mode or is it intermittent?
 
Hi guys,

Currently having a similar issue with my 2014 A4. What was the result of replacing the sensor? Also where abouts was it located?

Cheers
 
Are you sure they are talking about the boost sensor(MAP sensor) and not the DPF pressure sensor??
The boost sensor can be swapped in a matter of a few minutes, the DPF pressure sensor needs a lot more work(thus time)..
take a look at this video, at 9.33 he mentiones the MAP sensor(and points to its location):
