Is it just the V5 that has MAF problems. If not Leons will have problems too, and most of my family drive Leons. :confused:

Sounds like the MAF, mine is in as I write for a replacement. Anyone else with a 99 finding this year expensive for their V5. :(

I've had my 99 V5 for a month now and already had to replace the wiper blades, then the wiper motor! :( I've also got a water leak to fix too. Then i need a new aircon clutch fitting as mine is missing, and a new front foglight too as the lense is broken
