odd code Audi A8 E4/D3
 
Hi Folks.
I am driving a 2005 A8 4.2Q with about 118kmiles on it. Had some work done recently to fix a valve cover gasket and replace a cam chain tensioner.
Also replaced a MAF based on dealer advice.
I have a code : 16490 Manifold / Barometric Pressure Sensor (G71) / (F96) P0160 - 008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent -MIL ON Readiness 01101100
Car runs fine, smooth idle, no problems really other than a MIL which will be an issue for emissions.
Now here is the problem. I can't find this sensor on my car. There is no clear hit on the internet either. I was given a part number 03C 907 386 E which is for a sensor but still, not sure where it would go and if it is actually meant for my car. Do I actually have one?
Any help would be appreciated.

This part number comes up as the intake runner position sensor. See if this item looks familiar.

Thanks Dave. Any idea where I can find this on the engine?

nice pdf
 
Found this nice pdf for our engine which indicates on p.36 that the F96 altitude sensor in part of the ECU. http://www.kpematop.com/S6/V8-5VEngine.pdf

Now that takes care of the barometric pressure sensor part of the code. I will explore this more in the scope of resetting/adapting the J220 module. Any direction will be appreciated.
Now for the MAP sensor G71, I have not been able to find it yet. Still looking for help locating it.
Also I keep thinking that replacing the MAF sensor a few weeks back may be related. I read somewhere that barometric/MAP and MAF readings are compared, therefore the 'implausible signal' could be caused by any of them being off, so, I will check that area for anything I may have missed. Hoses, clamps, etc...
