Yes. And checked continuity.

Probably covered this before but, the temp sender at the back of the cyl head, is it the correct part no and is the wiring plug ok?Comment

Yes it's fine, recently repaired infact. And reads ok on vag-com. I'm sure it's down to air/load measurement.Comment

Plus. I'm not even looking into that until I've swapped my rattling flywheel so ruling that out. Plus it's p*****g me off anyway with the flywheel noise, noisey first gear and a clutch that requires two feet!
Plus, to further rule it out I'm going to treat myself to a decent one piece downpipe and do away with that stupid split system.Last edited by HMS-S6; 31 December 2014, 18:31.Comment

Drove the car today with the new flywheel and clutch. No different. Also this was only with the DP. The LOAD is definitely the problem. I checked again the continuity of the MAF wiring and it's perfect. I also blocked off ALL the hides into the MAF hose (which holds 1 bar). Any ideas what else could cause it to be down?Comment

Not sure what you did in another life to deserve this torture, but here's wishing you lots and lots of luck as you deserve it at this stage.
Have you been able to arrange an appointment with Dimitri, (sorry if I've missed this).
He'll be be up for canonisation if it fixes this one in my mind.

Thank you!Not sure what you did in another life to deserve this torture, but here's wishing you lots and lots of luck as you deserve it at this stage.

No, he's not coming over till spring now.
So close yet so far

I found someone in the UK who I'd HIGHLY recommended for our cars. He's going to use the breakout box and an emulator on it and is convinced he will find the problem. Unfortunately due to his already massive workload he wishes to remain nameless but whatch this space for results.Comment

Thing that troubles me is that upping the fuel pressure improves things which does suggest its fuel delivery somehow!
If the load figure is effectively the amount of air in the cylinder, is it reading low due to the engine not having enough fuel rather than not sucking it in if you forgive my highly technical language. I don't suppose you looked at the load figure when you upped the fuel pressure to see if it increased or not.
Whilst I hope you get to the bottom of it, all the kit in the world might not necessarily solve the problem unless it is something that is capable of being measured.
Still fingers crossed and all that!Comment

Upping the fuel pressure ABOVE what it should be made the AFR correct but the power was still way off! Thos is most likely more fuel being injected on the same incorrect open time dues to bad air measurement. The fuel pressure correlates perfectly with my mechanic gauge.
No. The load figure was the same on the higher pressure.
There isn't a great deal that can't be looked at by the equipment this guy has, a couple people on here tipped him as the best Motronic guy in the UK.Comment
