Replaced MAF - still got a idling problem :(

[DPJ]

You still getting the lambda fault code?

 

[kineticz]

Under inspection I've found there is a crack in the intercooler. Could this cause the problem I'm having??

Nope DPJ since I fitted the new CTS that fault has gone but if you want me to test the lamda I can do that, just tell me how. As I know faults with sensors don't ALWAYS show up in vag com.

 

[DPJ]

Is the crack in the intercooler causing a boost leak?

 

[kineticz]

Yes I can hear slight hissing from the intercooler.

 

[DPJ]

You may have found your fault.

Well I knew it must have happened when it got damaged. The side front had been hit and I repaired it. I tried to repair the intercooler by sealing it up but it looks like there are still some cracks

I'm going to get it replaced dude, thanks

 

[DPJ]

Is it a sidemount?

 

[kineticz]

Yes it is

 

[DPJ]

Yes it is

If you put up a request in the wanted section, you should find a few people who have removed them to fit FMICs.

Will do mate, need it pretty quickly though so hopefully someone will reply today

 

[kineticz]

I've replaced the intercooler and the problem is worse!

 

[kineticz]

I just replaced the MAF which was meant to be a new one and it's working!!

The car runs sweet as a nut!

Thanks so much to everyone who has helped me sort this out
