In attempting to remove the map sensor on daughters ‘04 cmax
the torx bolt that secures the sensor in place has sheared off
I’m guessing it’s just self tapper or similar as it only goes into the plastic manifold . If I end up with a replacement manifold from an online parts seller how will I know what bolt I’ll need ? or any suggestions for facilitating a repair on the original manifold, thanks Tony

I ended up removing the inlet manifold (no mean feat) extracting the “screw” as suspected not much more than a self tapper with a t25 head. got it out by drilling round it ( no wonder dentistry is so expensive) and a m bonding in an M5 thread insert

That ford part number looks like the original would have been, thank you
