maf

[tdi_kez]

had my car vag-com'd a while back as it was loosing power and it showed up to be the maf sensor.

after replacing the maf sensor twice with both sensors being genuine seat ones the power loss is still there and the fault code still keeps showing up

ive even tried clearing the codes but they come back

any ideas?

Its not unheard of for 'new MAF`s to be dodgey, Have you checked the wiring on the sensor?

yeah but 3 of them??

Who knows? Only real way would be to log the maf values.

Have you checked the wiring on the sensor that plugs into the maf?

 

[tdi_kez]

no not checked as i dont now how to

If you know where the maf is, i assume you do as you have had 3 new ones? just check that the wires on the plug/sensor are all ok still in tact etc...

i think thats thats the prob but you cant see any wires from all the black plastic crap covering it

Check these wires and also try and trace them back as far as you can and make aure they are all in good nick etc.....

really appreciate the pic but all those wires are covered

If you mean that they are coverd with the black plastic tubing im pretty sure that just unclips from around the wires.

If you can try and get the actual fault code it could point us stright to the problem.

What the hell does this have to do with a maf?
