Engine Management Light

[Gogsie78]

Just changed to piper cross induction kit yesterday and coming back from mates along a country road tonight i put the foot down to overtake a car and engine management light has came on and wont budge.

anyone any ideas?

vag.com it.....had similiar problem after my piper x went on.....was a dead MAF...

 

[Gogsie78]

I hooked car up to Vg com this morning and found this


Control Module Part Number: 6K0 906 032 AA
Component and/or Version: 1.8L 20VT EU3 0002
Software Coding: 10500
Work Shop Code: WSC 00000
1 Fault Found:
17536 - Fuel Trim: Bank 1 (Mult): System too Lean

P1128 - 35-00 - -

Just wondering if it has anything to do with Pipercross. I cleared it and the car started spluttering like mad for 20 seconds then ran ok again but it seems slow picking up when accelerating

Maf

 

[Funkyfin2000]

yeah MAF...same thing as mine..

 

[Gogsie78]

Does this mean its on the way out? or not?

 

[PhilW]

Unplug it to see if runs better, if it does then get ready to be stung for 70 quid.

 

[Gogsie78]

It's only happened as soon as i put pipercross on If this is the problem then i'll be selling the bloody induction kit. Is it a tork tool that i need to unplug it or should it just pull out?

 

[Funkyfin2000]

just pull out the electric plug to it....

you could also log on Vag.com block 003....

this will show us what values the MAF is running..

 

[acidstrato]

its possible the vibrations caused when fitting the filter fudged the maf

the plug should just unclip, the torx bits remove the element

 

[Funkyfin2000]

got a pic of your piper cross fited? u fitted the bracket that comes with it too?

i had mine fitted and it killed the MAF straight off.....replaced maf and had no probs since..

 

[PhilW]

Why would you need to remove the element carl?

Just unplug it, if its stuffed replace the whole unit.

 

[Gogsie78]

The bracket was fitted with the piper cross and it doesn't move around at all.
I tried to pull the plug but there must be a catch underneath it or something and i can't get it to pull off.

The car seems a bit stuttery though and not half as quick as it should be so im assuming that the maf is on the way out. I don't mind shelling out for a new one but i don't want piper cross to kill the next one. The only thing i have noticed id that there was no oil with the piper cross so it either came pre oiled or that is another problem. I'll try VAG COM again and see what the reading is.

 

[acidstrato]

yeah i know phil was just pointing out what they are for


symptoms you describe along with that fault code almost guarantee the maf has failed, if you unplug it you should get your power back, but dont leave it like that for too long. buy another one from euro car parts and if it fails again, take it back

 

[Gogsie78]

I unplugged the maf and it go's like a train now but my bloody traction control light has came on and wont go off lol.

I feel like getting dynamite

 

[Ninja]

the traction control light comes on when you unplug the maf nothing to worry about there.

New maf for you it seems!!

 

[Gogsie78]

does it go off again after a while or is it when i replace the MAF?

 

[Ninja]

Should go off when you reset the engine. Can be done on vag com or by just disconnecting the battery for a while.

 

[Gogsie78]

Thanks for the help folks, new MAF it seems then, just glad i got all my charges back from bank lol looks like ill need the cash should get me a few mods
