[fahafiz]

Yep sounds like your MAF is faulty, a new onr for my cupra cost me £86 on an exchange basis, so yours maybe +/- being a diesel.

Another thing you an try is to clean the element in the Maf using electrical solvant cleaner, if you do a search on here you will find out how to clean it, may or may not work but worth it as the cleaner only costs a fiver!!

Cheers

If you go to the main website - www.seatcupra.net - and follow the 'Info Base' link you'll find pabs guides from LeonCupra.co.uk. In there is a guide on how to clean the MAF and what products you need. Might be worth a go

yeh ive cleaned it before and made a minor difference, but if i unplug its much faster.... do * think i should buy another MAF?

 

[Nathanio]

Yup i'd just go out and pick up a new one! Not that expensive and should make a huge difference

 

[fahafiz]

if i buy it from Euro parts... do i give them my old MAF when they drop off the new MAF?

If you go into any dealers or parts suppliers and ask for a DPJ, they'll give you a MAF.

Don't take the sensor out of the tube. The tube with sensor installed is the exchange part.

 

[fahafiz]

is it simple to remove the whole MAF?

 

[DPJ]

If you have an airbox, just two bolts holding the MAF to that. One large Jubilee clip holding it to the Turbo Inlet Pipe.(TIP)

 

[fahafiz]

so do Euro Parts wait around till i take my MAF off or do i need to take it off before they come lol?

 

[Big_daddy]

well i took it out then and there! takes less than a minute

 

[fahafiz]

cool, i think i better order a new MAF then... gonna play about with it first and remove it partially

I have two MAFs between my filter and TIP. Just flick a switch when one goes and it selects the other.
