Title: help with maf readings?
Post by: smythe on 07 September 2011, 20:22

i found a wire off my maf after alot of mucking about after getting 0.00g readings

now the wire is  back in and awaiting replacement plug from vw.

here is what i got

at idle 52.17 gs

at under load @ 5000 rpm  260 gs

i could not do a full 4rd gear test as i ran out of road & weather was dismall

do these reading look normal ? high or low ?

forgot to add mk4 v5 170  :grin:
cheers smythe

They look high to me.

I may be wrong due to my engine having a turbo but on idle I think mine sit around 3.0 g/s and peak about 168.0 g/s.

168 x 1.25 = 210bhp using the rough rule of thumb. So spot on for a 1.8T AMK.

260.0 g/s x 1.25 = 325bhp :shocked:
