Re: From China with Love

Thanks guys! I just went to weigh my car with my friends and found out my Jetta is 1410kg with 17kg of gas, so 1393kg(3076lbs) dry with 870kg on the front axle, that means a 61.7% weight distribution to the front, which is close enough to the ideal 60/40 distribution for FF cars. For reference stock 2.8 GLI is 1460kg so I'm pretty darn happy with the result. My friend's mk4 r32 with 17inch oz superlegerras and 2.5inch catback weighed in at 1500kg dry(3306lbs) with 62.1% weight in front. My friend's 430hp Mk7 manual only weighed in at 1470kg dry, surprised at how light the new R's are! A DSG mk7R weighed 30kg more.

Lowered the front end one last thread last night(thanks for the wrenches witchcraft), then went to HPA with my buddy to get a 4motion controller installed today. We came across the owner Marcel's scirocco, and the award winning FT565 TT that's in gran turismo, TT was trailered in from Utah just for a service! Funny how my Jetta was originally from there too.
One tech heard my car recognized it and asked if it's a 3.2, and then the whole team came out to check out the car to see what all the fuss is about, including Marcel and Darrel, got a lot of praises from them for the work I've done myself. Super happy about it and I've got some plans with them that's not a turbo kit lolol. It's nice to see a shop with so many actual performance cars in the works for once.

Re: From China with Love

Wicked. Wish I had my MKIV still, vancouver weather and roads allow for almost year round slammed driving.

Re: From China with Love

So this code has been around for a month, I can clear the code and it comes right back after driving it and restarting it, i changed the maf with a new bosch unit and it's doing the same thing, no drivability issues before and after i changed it either. How can i fix it?

Check wiring and connector

Re: From China with Love

Check wiring and connector

I looked at the connector and it looked ok but is there a test I could do to test each pin to make sure the wires are good? Because all the wires are wrapped in tape with a bunch of other wires, I want to know for sure a wire is bad before I rip it all apart

Re: From China with Love

Can check continuity at the ecu. Ill check tomorrow for which pins

Re: From China with Love

I just had the same problem 2 weeks ago, mine turned out to be the sensor though..

[kujiwara]

Re: From China with Love

I just scanned the code on the new sensor and the same code along with a new code(16497-Intake air temp sensor G42, P0113-002 signal too high- intermittent), so I tried a definitely good maf from my buddy's mk4 r32 and again same problem, first drive no light, car off then on immediately light on again, but only p0102 code. Certain it's a wiring problem now.
