Going from a mk3 to a mk4 was meant to be an upgrade :rolleyes:

Upgrade to loads of electrical faults  :cool:

Won't you have to reset engine adaptions if new MAF fitted?? Reset mine when i fitted new MAF to mine.
is it not just a case of fit new one, plug in and off you go?

i just plugged it in and it seemed quite laggy, made the boost come in really heavy and didnt like cold mornings. Ever since its been unplugged its been fine! But i'm not risking £120. Just need to try someone elses maf. Bloody snow!
