Boost problems again

[dkw_dude]

Have you checked the MAF?

Thats my suggestion too. Test with a healthy MAF. On a 3B you can unplug it, and if there's no change the MAF is faulty, not sure if this applies to the ABY.
Hang in there, hope you get it running right!

No, ive not checked the maf, I have nothing to check it with or exchange it unless I buy a new one

Plenty of spare MAFs come up now and again. I got one from Slovenia for 25euros and it works fine! Not local but I'm sure someone nearby you will have a spare.

I wish there was someone local, Im in the middle of the country yet no one with an S2 lives near me!

If you can get down to th Midlands Breakfast club this sunday I will bring a spare MAF (could also be faulty though) with me, VagCom cables and laptop.
There are a few others going from here.

Cheers, I try to come, but as its running too well it would cost a fortune in fuel!

Sounds like a new lambda could pay for itself it that's the problem

[newsh]

Personally I would not spend any more money untill you've actually done a boost leak test. Peering around and poking about and saying everything looks ok is just not good enough.

Im waiting to hear back from Doug about getting a price for a health check, new lambda (if needed) and thermostat

[quattronutter]

im only up the road if you want to check for fault codes,if nothing comes to light then it will most likely be maf,could also be lambda as said

I would say its you MAF too, mine needs changing as its running rich and feels like yours i.e holding back slightly on boost, i bathed mine in IPA and it made a massive difference for a week and it went back to normal
It will cost you £10 for a multimeter and you can use these instructions for testing yor MAF - 1st post on this thread

I live near Woodbridge in Suffolk, you can try my maf if its not to far to come

[dest]

Right, Ive just been out to test the maf, and everything seemed to match up to the expected results

[Acidburn]

Any news from doug yet? have you tried phoning him?

[dest]

Nothing yet.
Im in no rush yet as I wont have the money to go for atleast 3 weeks anyway
