Best bet is to get the car on vagcom to check to see if there are any faults and take it from there. Whereabouts in S London are you?

I have never asked the dealer to run vagcom on my car before, so not sure if they charge. No doubt they would do though.

Their is a list of vag com users on here somewhere. Have a look through the list and see if their is anyone near you who has vagcom and willing to help.

Yes mate. Build over time. Once cleared you should notice a huge difference!

VW dealers will charge to scan your car, cost me £45 (1/2 hours labour)

What about those orange fault readers from ebay? I bought one before but didn't use it.

They are good but vag com is way better  :wink:

Much more expensive too! I'll get another of the orange readers. How extensive is the fault list on the OBD?
If my car was running rough, would it bring up a fault i.e would it show my fault MAF?

Cheers.

in a word no - knackered MAF will 9/10 times not show a code

You need vagcom to measure the MAF and ensure its figures are meeting those requested by the ECU
