How to fix these error codes....

[MrBen2k7]

Hi guys,

Just took my car to a mates garage who put it on his SMARTBOX scanner diagnostics things. The car has no power, no turbo spool up and is just not happy. No dash lights or anything.

Came back with 2 fault codes;

P1556 - Turbo/super charge boost sensor (A) ciruit: control limit reached

P1144 - Mass air flow (MAF) sensor -G70: open short to ground

Any idea how to fix these, I am lead to believe from previous experiance, I'll need a new MAF, will this fix both codes do you think?

Cheers in advance.

Usually boost sensor control limit problems are due to issues with the N75...

G70 open short to ground... has the MAF been disconnected?

 

[MrBen2k7]

The MAF hasn't been touched, since the problem started.

The MAF was a cheapo eBay one, as I was strapped at the time.

Got access to VAGCOM?

I'd be logging the air requests from the MAF.

G70 short to ground generally means something isnt plugged in though from what I've seen...

I've not got access to it no. I was thinking of buying one of the cables and software. Any you can recommend?

Just ordered a new MAF off eurocarparts, hopefuly that will fix it....

I hope

This car has already cost me £1200 these last 2 months....

 

[MrBen2k7]

I officially hate this car......

Fitted a new MAF today, and still no luck.....

What do I need to do, please help me, I am on the verge of tears here.... I have already shoved out £1200 on my car recently!

Am I looking at a new turbo? Or new N75?

How much is a new N75?

A vac hose had slipped off the N75..... basterd... lol

Cheers for your help guys!
