CAR UPDATE - AGAIN

Tryed replacing all 4 coilpacks with new ones to rule it out - no difference

Tryed a brand genuine MAF, and a maf off my mates cupra - So thats not the problem


THE NEW SYMPTONS

it runs with the MAF connected... but it CANNOT go anywhere near the induction pipe or air, when it gets any air going past it, then engine dies instantly - even if u blow on the MAF its senses it and kills it

Is the wiring going to the MAF alright? Have you scanned it with VAG COM yet?

Hi bud

Yes VAGCOM is only bringing up: low MAF signal / fault still. But I don't think its running long enough with the problem for the VAGCOM to pick it up maybe? Could be the wiring to the MAF? hmmm going to have to get an auto electrician on it maybe?

After ALOT of diagnosing

.... I said to my mate the engine mounts seems to be getting bad, then turned out to be a bolt missing and that caused engine to move enough to pull off the intercooler boost hose - hence running problem.

Thanks to everyone on here for your help

Check your boost hoses.

Sure I told you it would be this when you first posted. Glad its sorted.

 

[mr_D]

Had exactly this when my front mount went on mine. Pulled out a boost hose. Wouldn't run but would with the maf unplugged. Plug it back together and off ya go!

 

[45_CB]

checked so much stuff aswell but was certain the pipes were all fine! lol!

even swapped ECU's, removed exhaust system, charcoal box, lambda sensors, sensor by intercooler, fuel pump relay, MAF plug and all wiring, MAF itself, dump valve,ETC!

oh well all sorted now when engine mount bolt turns up

thanks alot for your help guys!
