    Yep. photos can be deceiving in terms of colour accuracy, but that one looks to be standard fare.

    So, start looking more towards the sender unit.
    If you don't have one, IR thermometers are handy tools to have.. as said .. point it at the senders coolant outlet port.

    If you get a hold of a nanocom and it reads the same .. could be an actual issue then.

    I never need to change MAP sensors, but did need to change MAF twice. Few years ago I bought one generic MAF for my 99 Auto Td5 and it worked very well. However, on my current 03 Manual Td5 the generic MAF sensor just last 1 day (bad luck) then I pull the trigger to get a VDO one and it has been working as it should.

    I got it off eBay from a seller who still is selling new and genuine VDO one. I believe that I was paying like $230 and received it quickly via Express. Just did not like the way he packed the box as it was almost opened at arrival, but definitely the MAF sensor works awesome since then.
