I have sub question for this, what do you do with the MAF sensor?

I take it by your question you have an AGU engine? if so you just need to cable tie it near your cone filter so an air flow can access the sensor :)

No it's an AUM I think

If you have a sensor bolted to your airbox it wont be an AUM

The S2000 filter arrived this morning. It's bigger than expected. But then I don't know what I was expecting. Either way its nice and it's sitting on my desk because the damn silicon reducer hasn't arrived.  :angry:

P.S. (whoever chose the colour of the plastic should be shot)
I thought Volkswagens were supposed to be reliable?

So in a completely crushing turn of events my car broke down AGAIN today. And i'm all out of money. I have emptied my saving account and my current account on it. I'm done. No more.

The engine sounds like a diesel again, low oil pressure or knackered cam chain tensioner. Theres a front end knock/thump/feels like a ran something solid over, and also the MAF died. I have a spare MAF so thats one problem sorted.

Trouble is i just started a new job yesterday, 2 grand pay cut, a 40 minute commute, and now this.

So long story short, i'm selling it. Anybody know of anybody who's looking for a solid car that needs a bit of work done? Would make a good car if you have the money to spend on it. I also have a brand new s2000 filter and silicon reducer to fit it to the MAF for sale.

£35 posted to you. Both brand new. I'll even throw in the two jubilee clips needed. Just bear with me in the VERY unlikely event of there being any good news from the garage. I'll know by the weekend and I can PM you then.
