A week ago I ran into some problems with my Cupra R. Travelling down motorway and all of a sudden lost power, pulled over to check engine and couldn't see anything obvious. So I called AA people out as it was dark and I couldn't see much under bonnet.
AA guy looked around car and found that if he unplugged the MAF the engine would idle correctly instead of constantly stalling and hunting for revs. Drove home 15-20 miles with MAF unplugged to save me recovery fee's.
So told me MAF had died and needed new one - thought OK, not too bad as I wanted a new MAF soon anyway because my MAF readings were lower than a year ago.
New MAF from GSF (which I can take back as the Bosch box had been opened so he noted I can go back and replace with an unopened MAF)
Car started up fine, set off and still had no power and alot of air noise under bonnet. Noticed my Turbo to DV pipe was split so replaced with new Forge hose. Car running great!!! Lots of boost and feels better with the new(er) MAF.
Cleared faults on ECU with VAGCOM and my traction control light lit up, now everytime I start engine the Traction Control light is constantly on and MAF error keeps coming back.
Started to log block 003 and noticed that I have 0 MAF readings with engine running.
--------------
So.........has anyone else had 0 MAF readings? I don't understand as the car feels mighty quick at moment, also could the traction control light be part of the 0 MAF readings?
I'm puzzled by all this..........
