Ivor_E_Tower Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 ...think the topic heading "losing power TDI" is a bit of a give-away. Quote
HJT Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Have you tried disconnecting the MAF sensor as described in other postings, if so what was the result. Howard Quote

Ivor_E_Tower Posted September 10, 2003 Report Posted September 10, 2003 Sorry, I'm still in "holiday" mode ! Quote
fivenecks Posted October 11, 2003 Author Report Posted October 11, 2003 hi everyone have not tried removing the sensor , does this do any damage, or need resetting, i have tried flooring it in 2nd gear for half a mile to clear any soot etc...just does not seem to be any boost perhaps i need to do it a few times... thanks all fivenecks Quote
Ivor_E_Tower Posted October 11, 2003 Report Posted October 11, 2003 Removing the sensor will cause the "electronics" to enter a different mode where almost normal driveability should be detected. If this is the case then you have a duff MAF sensor. As I understand it, this is the first simple test to perform.. Let us know how you get on please. Quote
