My car won't accerate too well

 

[David_smith_909]

its your car telling you to stop killing it, naughty

 

[ibizacupra]

Maf

 

[David_smith_909]

check all vac hoses, check they are still on and are not leaking

you got any dash lights on? what boost are you producing?

also, what are your mods

 

[David_smith_909]

Maf

probably

 

[cresswell22]

will look at hoses no lights on dash runing 0.6 bar which i have been told is spot on just a air filter but it was the with the standard one on

 

[cresswell22]

what is maf and is it bad news

 

[David_smith_909]

0.6bar is right if you have no remap yes

 

[David_smith_909]

common fault mate, look just before your airbox, you will see electric plug plugged into a round plastic things (very technical i know)

thats your maf, it measures your airflow

 

[cresswell22]

so if the maf is the problem what do i do

 

[David_smith_909]

if its broke, just replace it

 

[acidstrato]

get a new one? lol

can test this with vagcom software to confirm or disconnect it and see if its different

 

[acidstrato]

david smiths on fire today

 

[David_smith_909]

hell yeah, post wh0re this morning

not got alot on in work, can you tell?

 

[Molehill_Mike]

Go David

Get Vagcom and log the MAF flow, nto suer what you should see, but with remap we look for 150s+ I think? If its at 70 then thats bad... lol

Not sure on block number... see if someone local can help?

Or speak nicely and do a MAF swap... much easier to change complete housing IMO when doing this...
