I had an ECU Temp sender fault a while back, and they weren't the same symptoms as Sugar79 is seeing.  Mine just ran a bit rich (exhaust popping on overrun, and not wanting to start when warm).

Probbo MAF then, eh?  :wink:

my maf is covered on warrenty so i mite just get a new one, my golf as done 92k miles, when i had the induction kit on it used to backfire alot, it still does that a little now but no where near as much, also the cat smells of rotten eggs most of the time, i was wondering if the car was running rich myself.

i found out why i was losing oil, some idiot had left to screws off my rocker cover so the oil and pressure was leaking out from there, the heat that was escaping made an oil breather pipe colapse.
its still not running properly, but iam havin a new air flow meter fitted on tuesday so let see if thats the other problem.
