hi all
im getting a second hand maf for my mk3 as mine is suspect knackered...
however my mate recons that it will need to be put on a gas analyser and almost calibrated... is this true, cos i was thinking that if it is the same part that it would bang straight on???
ps i put it in here rather than the mk3 section as i thought it was a farily generic question... apologies if it would be better there!!:)
-
I had a faulty airflow sensor ran better with it disconnected, Got another one off ebay and good as new. Disconnect your battery for a while after you fit it to let the ecu return to default.
-
cheers mate - will do, i thought it should just go straight on tbh!
mine is hunting intermittantly, and tha maf has silicone all round it like it has been tampered with!!
-
If you do need to set it vag-com is your friend (and I'm sure someone on here will be able to help?) I'm sure mine needed vag-coming when a new one was fitted?
-
I didn't think the maf on a mk3 was adjustable? or are the early ones adjustable?
-
There not adjustable but I know mine went on vag-com after fitting (i am guessing it was to clear the fault code (and safe mode the car was in!) more than set it up?)
-
As above they are not adjustable but would be a good idea to clear any fault codes out.
-
hi all,
i will see what happens when i change it,
i have had it code checked and nothing, but will disconnect the battery, put the new one on and then see what it does!!
i can always disconnect the battery again to clear the codes!!
thanks for your help peeps!!!
