    No. But dirty MAF can foul tha ECU and misleads the display. Also bad MAF cable contacts can do the same sh...,,te. Take a deep breath and clean the MAF gently and at the same time take care of the contacts too. Fuel consumption should go down to some 11-12 in a warm land like yours. Depending on the air filter the MAF should be cleaned every now and then...Of course many other faults can cause your problem....

      what do u think can cause that too? but i have the maf never been cleaned.. shall i clean just the maf the sensor which have two tiny wire? or also the hollow of it? and what is the second reason for this playing? lambda sensor? can do that? today morning i was warming the engine and then i found it tooking 18 litre per 100 km at 1000 rpm so is that normal?

        You should do it step by step, to know which action solved your problem. Basically when you clean (rinse) the MAF, the housing is cleaned aswell, but be very careful not to injure the wire. Isopropilalcohol is usually used for the cleansing. The wire should be shiny at the end. Clean the contacts too. If all these doesn't work, you can look further. If it's the lambda probe, the VAG diagnostic tool should write the fault code out. Good luck

          allright my friend the alchole is beside me now and just waiting till the evening to remove the maf. and submarge it in the alchole and we will see , i will change the lambda sensor so or so cause it passed the 174km so propably its faulty right? , does bosh can give me cheaper price the vag for spare part?

            Yes the Bosch is somehow less costly than the Audi shop one. Once more, very carefully with the MAF wire.

                heheheeh no, ethanol pure is better (to drink). basically ethanol pure would also do the job. The main thing is that your cleanser should leave no traace when its dry.

                        Dont worry, ethanol is fine here. For some reason people don't waste alcohol for such measures, rather the IPA which is not for drinking. Unfortunately ethanol draws water when the bottle is opened so the so called "pure" word is not true for long....
