paid £25 for diagnostics to find out absolutly nothing lol
« on: 26 May 2011, 00:19 »
As i posted other day i have a slight loss of boost from my 1.8t, my code reader gave me temp sensor code so i replaced that.
still not happy with the miles per gallon and the boost so took it to garage today for diagnostics costing £25 only for polish dude to say theres no codes but it could be my maf or lambda,diverter valve humm where do i start lol
i do get the chatter/whoosh sound from diverter valve could that be the cause of my problems? as i think if the maf or lambda wasnt working i would be getting fault codes??

80% of your posts are total tripe, as they are mostly replies to sh1te posts created by the morons that, unfortunately this forum attracts.

MAF won't always give codes. Worth servicing the diverter valve and see if that improves matters?
