Hi Insider, thanks for your post is this the lambda sensor or another one and is this possibly caused by the maf being faulty, also the second air error is this also likely to be caused by the MAF

thanks all finally sussed out this fault code B0414 is the maf sensor,cleared code retested result clear, disconnected maf and retested error B0414 appeared, so definitely know what this is now have put in new post so please read that if you can offer further assistance, many thanks DAZ

Hi all, thanks to those of you who responded to my cry for help with Diagnostic code B0414 have found this to be a faulty maf sensor What i was hoping was if you could browse the following and let me know what these might be.and whether they could be something to do with the MAF Sensor Fault which i have now verified. READOUT FROM DIAGNOSTIC TOOL-- LIVE DATA: Fuel sys1 CL,Faulty HO2S Fuel sys2 CL,Faulty H02S MAF lb/min 0.000 ABSLT TPS (%) 0.0 Second Air Error any help would be greatly appreciated many thanks in advance....

Stevoo, Got myself one of those readers and its still doing the same thing looked on the manufacturers disc at the DTC info but cant find B0414 on there at all How can they give a code and not tell you what it is thats plain stupid.Dont know what OMG is i think that was a string from another person fault on mine. going to have to get it read by proper VAG Com to get this one sorted i think. it hasnt given the MAF error so it cant be that, wanna by a V6 he! he! he! maybe its a gearbox ECU Code or something im completely lost now any ideas

I had this on my 98 V6 it turned out that it just needed filling up mine was completely empty and cost around

Thanks Stevie M it was definitely B0414 therefore your first reply was spot on Is there any way of decifering your reply to normal english i.e whats wrong and what part is it etc Thanks Daz131

Hi All, Finally goin to get the old Gal back on the road,I've charged the battery and the radio has got the " - - - - " i assume this is where you key in the code,i've looked through the paperwork i got with it and believe it or not ive chcked the radio booklet out by mistake i know it had the code in it as well, I've taken the radio out and please find here all the info that is on my radio Model 2007R RDS Cassette unit (CD Changer Compatible) Part No:95VW-18K876-KC ID No:FDZ7R3VL005004 CE:1996 Barcode:EAPA060247 This is From My V6 GAL ®

Just had a nice guy from the forum come and read my ecu with his Fault reader and was given a code cant find it anywhere can anyone help the code is B0414 i dont know if you need the manufacturer of the reader but what ever it was it was reset giving my Gal a whole new lease of life. This is the fault code reader used http://www.talktomycar.co.uk/Shop/Code_Readers/mj005.htm one site said its temperature sensor one said it was injector Valve B Still Querying MAF though can anyone verify for Gal 2.8 v6 auto ® big thanks to stevoo for popping round Darren

that would be really cool stevoo contact me using the messaging service to organise. im actually in purley area

mk2vr6 thanks for the reply im not a mechanic so dont know where to find the throttle body or what it looks like, maybe you can help.i've asked my brother who has a mk3 vr6 but he dont know either.sorry im only a novice.

thanks mad baz have tried this but didnt work this is a problem since changing the coil pack it was running all lumpy this is now sorted but the revs are quite high and being auto its playing havoc with the gear changing. only other thing i can think of is the MAF there isnt a local fella with vagcom willing to do me a favour.

can anyone tell me if the ecu can be reset i have heard that you can short it by running a wire to the body work does this work and is it safe.thanks in advance

is there a way to reset the ecu i have heard that you can short it out by running a wire to the body work but wanted to know if it was possible to do this ;)

Hi All, i dont believe i have asked this question before so here goes...... is there anyone within driving distance of croydon surrey, willing to pop round and run vag-com on my old gal.most of the people on the forum are from up north and could not get the car there to test it.it can be almost anytime really,but obviously weekends would be better. thanks in advance daz
