help, car faster with MAF unplugged

[DPJ]

I'm working on an automatic MAF load and eject system now. (a bit like a pump action shotgun)

 

[helms]

i can just picture that, would be so funny! will you have a special place to store the broken MAF's? that then boxes them up and mails them to a parts place for swap?lol

 

[DPJ]

Yes, I was going to get the ejected MAF fired out through a flap in the bonnet. A net would pop out from the rear skirt to catch it.

Not trying to hijack the thread but mine seems sluggish recently. Was ok at first after I disconnected the battery when I cleaned my dynatwist, it was like a rocket for a week or so then gradually seems to have got slower. Car still under warranty so will I still get away with unplugging it to see if it goes better like fahafiz's. Also Dave, you think i'll get it changed on warranty if i've got induction kit on? and does it sound like maf is knacked?

 

[phantombantam]

Anyone? Does this sound like maf is knackered?

 

[fahafiz]

yeh a symptom of MAF failure is decrease in speed...
Dealers sell a MAF for just under £70... and u dont need to exhange old one too

 

[phantombantam]

Ok cheers, will have to get it checked out properly with vagcom before I try and claim it on warranty. Means putting air box back on though

 

[DPJ]

I live just near Scotch Corner if you want you car checked with Vag-Com, Craig.

 

[Nathanio]

Have you swapped yours yet fahafiz?

Which dealer, by the way Craig?

 

[phantombantam]

Will probably go to David penmans. If not SG petch at Durham is another option.
