[JJ_arosa]

driving to the nec yesterday to go to the autosport show (was ****) my car seemed to have went into limp mode several times.

it norm boost's peak 22psi holds 17 to red line.

but was boosting to 9 - 10 psi i had to clear fault codes 17536 it brought up.

so is that limp mode in my car 9-10 psi ?

im running ko3's turbo, stage 2 cc map plus usual other mods

suspect MAF gone tits on ya...
log airflow if you can... you should be seeing 170g/s or more if its well.

[dai cupra]

[JJ_arosa]

boost's alot lower than what iut normaly does, you'l know when its in limp as its no fun to drive lol

17psi at redline?

MAF for me as well, clear the code and log it.

you did say up yours that it was not pulling air thro as it should

I said at the time you need to get yourself a new MAF, you not done it yet?

i have got a new maf i have gone thorugh 4 in the last 3 months lol

i had one 2 days after i was up with u bill,

better mount the induction kit more isolated then so to stop vibration from killing them.

or he's using a very unfriendly filter...

 

[JJ_arosa]

got a jetex filter on it mate down in the wing, had one of those re-location kits off ebay makes the filter sit down in wing

 

[Reuvers]

right I see, then that shouldn't be the problem.

is it free to move/shake though?

 

[JJ_arosa]

yea it is i sopose lol, secure it down more ?

run vag today and it come up with 16487 - maf signal to high ??
also 17968

 

[ibizacupra]

to high? Is the maf and tube assembly loose and allowed to jiggle about?

 

[cupra_spencer]

iv now bought this car and its still happening. should i secure the filter so it cant jiggle about then?

 

[ibizacupra]

if its killing maf's it should be mounted with some vibration isolation, and not allowed to rattle about. the maf on thar car was tired, it needed another. logs will confirm whats going on with it.

 

[cupra_spencer]

ok thanks mate. ill try cleaning the MAF and then secure the filter. JJ should be sending me a copy through of the vagcom software so if the problem persists ill get the laptop plugged in.

 

[JJ_arosa]

the maf is a new one dan as you can see, it has to be the filter as it sits to low in the wing must be dragging up a lil moist air and thats killing the maf ??

take the metal pipe off mate and just sit the filter in the engine bay ofdf the maf sensor and see if it stops it goin into limp mod.

any other probs u got my number mate, or post on here
