The starter motor wont affect it once its running. You need to get diagonsitcs on it otherwise its just a guess, my guess would be injectors or maf.

For the moment, try unplugging the maf and seeing if that makes a difference

Right, inplugged the maf and it ticks over and runs... little bit lumpym but driveable. Is my maf f**ked then?

You can try cleaning it with some brake cleaner but it a temp solution...just get a new one, dont get the cheap ones either they dont last.

Happy that worked mate  :cool:
Cheers mate, just rung vw...128pound!!!

It's worth getting one from VW though, I got a Bosch one from GSF and it lasted less than a year.

They should only be £100 if exchanging with the old unit from VW

Got one from ECP a Bosch and it faired slightly better, got two years before odd boosting and over reading  :grin:
