ferrarilover Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I currently drive a Mk4 Golf TDi 2000(W) with engine code AGR and 78000 miles. The car had lost power so I disconnected the MAF and the car flew. This meant the MAF is U/S. I fitted a new one but it now has developed a flat spot in all gears between 2000 and 3000 revs.Any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Welcome to Tyresmoke FerrariLover Check the rubber seal around the MAF sensor where it goes into the airbox - they are renowned for being a pig to get in and can sometimes slip off, leaving an gap where unfiltered air can get in and cause the MAF sensor to give a duff reading.

benjie Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 Hi, welcome to the forum, we have exactly the same car! Except mine has 140000miles! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrarilover Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thanks Moof, but can you clarify that the rubber seal is actually fitted to the sensor housing or in to the Air filter housing. You are right it is a very snug fit and there doesn't seem to be any gaps between the Maf housing and the air filter housing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 The rubber seal is a ring - it goes around the MAF sensor, but you have to fit it to the air filter housing before pushing the MAF sensor in. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrarilover Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thanks Mook and not Moof as in the previous message. I'll have a look as soon as it is back from the wife's trip out - if still in one piece! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrarilover Posted May 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2006 The saga has ended. I had the car serviced by VOLVO!!! ( I know the servicing manager). Got a big discount on a genuine part frm VW. I'll not get a refund on the faulty part from a trader on E-bay though. I have asked for a new one as a spare. Thanks for all your help MOOF or MOOG or MOOK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
