im sure I had this fault code back along, possible maf sensor on its way out?
do you have a standard air box? any lights on the dash come up?

Yep have the standard airbox fitted, the engine diagnosis light came on after about 2 miles of driving
how does the car drive?........****
have you done another scan on vag com since the light came on the dash?

The turbo doesn't kick in. I've not checked the car since as i don't have VAG-COM (a friend of a friend came over).
I've done a search on google of the code and from what i'm reading it might be the MAF, no idea though, bit of an amateur on engines. Have also read that it might be the re-cic pipe on my DV, but i've checked that too.
It still drives, but as i don't know what the code is i'm worried about driving it. what is limp mode?
I would say it is your maf, do you have a forge recirc valve or std bosch?
you could unplug the maf plug and drive it for a very short distance, if it flies then it is your maf sensor, re plug it in and dont drive it far until you have a new one, from the dealer or GSF

Forge DV, i know the MAF has something to do with controlling the air/fuel mixture but thats it, what will unplugging it do?
it will tell you if it is the maf, trust me I did this on my car, do a search on various threads on here, if you dont want to do this you could do a log through vag com to measure the maf g/s reading, block 018 iirc might be block 003, sorry not done logs for ages
Im sure its your maf fella, all the symptoms are there

Thanks i'll have a read. Going to take my car out now for a short blast with the MAF still connected, then i'll unplug it and see what difference it makes.
Just taken my car for a quick spin, everything seems ok now, it pulls like it used to and no diagnosis light. I'll still keep an eye on it. But your info on the MAF is invaluable and i appreciate your advice. makes things a little clearer now
Very strange
did you unplug the maf? is it driving fine with it plugged in now? the light on the dash has gone out....

I took it for a drive with the MAF still plugged in and was then planning to take it for another drive without the MAF. Anyway, took it for a 5 mile blast through Cambridgeshire, no loss of power or diagnosis light either. So haven't bothered unplugging the MAF, might take it out again later to satisfy my curiousity
I'll keep an eye on it for the next couple of days
I certainly will be keeping an eye on it. Going to take it steady over the next few days to be sure
