Looking for some pointers
Noticed driving to work the car (auto). Was holding onto its gears a bit longer than usual. Thought it could do with an ATF and filter change (84k) researched it and didn't fancy doing it myself. Local garage wouldn't touch it. Booked into merc for it £450.
On the morning of the merc visit the Eml came on. They wanted an additional £162 to read the fault! Went and bought a fault code reader. Read the fault code. P0237 turbo boost sensor. Went to my local motor factor and asked for one. Told that will be a turbo boost pressure sensor. Supplied a small square sensor that is sited next to the air flow box.
Fitted it and cleared code.
Eml straight back on
Internet research leads me to think it should be an oblong sensor sited on the right of the engine near the fuel filter with a kind of needle inside.
Any thoughts or suggestions gratefully received

Can't answer re the sensor.
However, if you aren't already aware, re. the gearbox delayed changes; they are programmed to hold onto the lower gears for longer when it's cold to assist quicker warm-up (emissions, dpf etc. etc..) and it has been colder recently. I'm not saying that's the reason, just a possibility.
If you plan on an ATF change (every 5-years/77,500 miles) I'd be inclined to use a dealer of indie. The later 7g+ gearboxes (came in with stop/start IIRC) use a different fluid to the earlier 7g boxes. Not every garage is aware of that.
