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

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

thanks for your post big kev will tackle it at the weekend.

If there is no dipstick how do i test the trannie oil This is a 97-98 model V6 not newer techtronics version any suggestions or pics please

Can anyone tell me where to find the dipstick for the Autobox on my V6 Beast,problem changing gear, i've spent hours searching for the answer on the forums but cant find any info have replaced the following at little expense Fuel jet o'rings Coil pack And Thinking of cleaning the Maf sensor as i have found this can also cause the problem to appear but would like to check the fluid to make sure its not just low,had it tested and no fault was found with the box.there must be someone who has one of these in working order that can help... thanks in advance Daz

does anyone know how to check the oil level in a gal v6 auto and how to top it up Detailed explanation required

Hi All does anyone know how to check the oil level on a v6 Gal Autobox R Reg i've been flicking through the forum and have noticed there arent many suckers who own one of these and as haynes havent produced a manual cant suss it out, i've still got a problem with the gearbox labouring to drive and getting the odd jult or clunk when pulling away was hoping it was only oil level low. any ideas thanks in advance and thanks for the im's re stereo code got it solved thanks.....

brake servo,cost me 350 plus labour get your head i the footwell,behind the brake pedal you should have a consatina covering the master cylinder piston the seal is right up against the bulk head i this location look for a black seal if it is damaged the only reslove is a replacement master cylinder as they no longer make seal repair kits due to health and safety directive. not one you want to happen but it does. i have noticed with ford that all the expensive parts are the ones that go over time brake servo

just had a similar issue with mine when it starts does the bang come from the front,if so you are getting blowout through the air box is the engine running really lumpy(when you sit in it it sounds like a tractor,if so its the ignition coil. 90 + vat and mine is now purring like a tiger

Hi All, im back again after 6months got the old gal back on the road would like to thank mumof4 and nikV for all their support on my last visit got the old beast back on the road after some major issues now after having it off the road for so long i need to get the keycode for my stereo i refuse to pay anymore money out now and would appreciate it if someone can offer me a site where i can get the code FOC.or a way of gettting it from the forums here as the veterans are very clued up and generous with their knowledge... regARDS DAZ
