Anyone Live In Staffordshire Who's Got Vagcom?

[westytwo]

Does anyone live in the Staffordshire area and own a VAGCOM they could stick on my Galaxy to check for fault codes? Also is there any way of checking to see if a MAF is faulty, I have replaced mine but someone has suggested that the new one may also be faulty?

Hi Westytwo

 

usually Vag-com does not detect a fault with a MAF, but the way to check is to disconnect the plug from the MAF and if car runs better then it is the MAF

If there is no difference its not the problem.

 

You have not said what the symptoms are, but I had one go on a Fabia (same idea) I removed it from the car, and blew it out with a air-line and refitted

it and has been ok since ( I might have been lucky, but cheap enough to try)

The problem is intermittent boost with a permanent loss of power, replaced all vacuum hose to the turbo actuator etc and removed and cleaned the egr valve. I have replaced the Maf with a new bosch one, only thing is the new maf has a different code number on it and looks different internally, someone on the forum said they fitted 3 new ones before they got one that worked!

The Maf fault will bring up a code.I had the same problem,first unplug your Maf and see if you have power, if you do then it's faulty, I removed mine for a cheap new one off ebay and it worked for about a month.I have since fitted the old one after washing it with boiling water from my kettle a nd its been great .
