That Audi thread is mega useful, well done for finding that, I'm pretty sure that the mechanism inside the manifold flap is at the root of my error codes.
Thank you.

If the control mechanism is full of oil, no wonder the circuits are fubared and it keeps blowing fuses.
Funny, with no fuse in and even showing that error code, it always starts first time now and runs a lot nicer. I'll have to get shot of that code though, so I guess I'll be buying a new flap unit as well.
Rubbish design that it should fail so soon.
I'm on 49k miles. I made a restrictor plate from sheet ally, seems to be okay, not noticed anything unusual apart from better fuel consumption, particularly on a run. Much better than its been for ages, possibly ever. i did pop a new maf in last month though, which might help a bit.
The plate is really simple, I'll see if I can pop it out and take a pic for you sometime this week.
My maf had pretty much died I think. I tested by driving with it disconnected and it was no worse that way and may have been slightly better ,if anything. Got a remanufactured one for about £50 I think.
It was an exchange uit, but no problem as its so easy to change, just popped it off before going into the shop, new one installed and away again in ten minutes.
chris - I used an old biscuit tin lid......
wet and dry? Doesn't really matter anyway. It'll burn off or stay on depending on temp.
neither! I did go for 4 mm hole but kept getting cel light up. So when I fitted catch can I disconnected and plugged the vacuum pipe to EGR and put up with CEL!
Not sure if it makes any performance difference since its remapped anyway. I did it mainly to stop all the crap accumalating again after I cleaned the egr. Mine was caked up after only 24k miles!
