MAP/BARO switch Solenoid

Anyone know exactly where to look for this solenoid. Its for a 1999 Q45. Much appreciated.

It is under the lower runners and the intake manifold. I believe it bolts onto the lower runners via 2 10mm bolts and a steel bracket.

It requires alot of work to replace - removal of intake manifold, throttle body, lower runners (basically a knock sensor job - better replace those while you're in there).

I'd check the FSM (factory shop manual) for diagnostic procedures to verify it needs replacement, and for reference material for you if you have to pull it apart.

Here's a walkthrough I created for our cars to replace the Knock sensors:

The MAP/BARO solenoid is in the depths of that job.

EDIT: I think your target is mounted on the bracket in this photo:
