Title: Golf lacking power -answer!
Post by: martinanderson on 10 January 2004, 21:24

Hi everyone,

Just had a really annoying problem with my Golf,1.9TDI, lacking power ??? . The garage thought it was my turbo after doing some research on the web i found that an airmass meter was a very common problem, so i phoned the company who were recommended on that website they were called lynx automotive, and they agreed with me and said that an airmass meter failure is a very common problem and its to early for a turbo (they also sell Turbos, and ECU's) as my car has only done around 55k miles!

So got a price from lynx and quickly phoned Euro/GSF and found lynx to be the best price for me! so i ordered it from lynx and got it sent to the dealer and the vehicle is like a little rocket again 8) ! the dealer even fitted it for FREE as they were embarresed that they had diagnosed it incorrectly! well i hope this helps others who might have the same problem as me! if anyone does then i recommend you try lynx for your airmass meter - 01949 836362.

Cheers Martin

seems the 'maf' sensors are tending to be a problem on alot of mk4 golfs!! all models in the range have had probs!!, seem if you put induction kits etc on they are even more prone to naffing up!!!  :o
