I do believe I just lost my second MAF in 2 1/2 months. Oh joy. Gonna set Tunedub up on speed dial.

Re: Arrgg MAF
Quick test to figure out if it's gone, unplug it and see if the problems go away. Another thing are you running a stock airfilter or have you upgraded to an oiled/aftermarket filter setup of some sort?Ben

Fair enough. I don't really know it's gone. But the car runs when it is unpluged and not when it is. Partly I hope it is gone cause that is at least a known quantity (albeit a $200.00 one). What else it may be I don't know. Regardless somethin is broke and it saps the joy out of driving it :( Oh ps I do have a drop in k&n in a 24v vr6 Gti no mods.Last edited by JPO; 03-21-2009, 04:21 PM.John

Re: Arrgg MAF
try without k&n for a while. They are sort of notorious for coating MAF's in a layer of oil.
If that is the case, is there any way to clean a MAF without destroying it??Stefan

Re: Arrgg MAF
CNC maf cleaner is what i used. It was around 10 bux at Napa. If you look it up on google you will know what to look for!Originally posted by RedMileOriginally posted by Smarty39Comment

Re: Arrgg MAF
Crank position sensor... God only knows why the car would only run after the MAF was unpluged... Have Tunedub on speed dial. A six year old dub can keep you in your toes. Thanks for all the advice.Last edited by JPO; 03-23-2009, 08:59 PM.John
