speed

[cresswell22]

Hi all just a quick question .When i first got my curpa i took it on a privte road to see what it could do. Got it up to 140 but now 11 months later .And after a new cat back exhaust and new maf and a oil change and filter and lambda sensor .It will just reach 120 and it takes it time getting there to .Can anyone help there must be something wrong

Still a dead maf, also depends on wind speeds. My Cupra has no problems hitting 145 and will always eventually pull through to 155mph/160mph on a K03 turbo.

Unplug it, If its dead you will notice the difference in it when its off. Failing that do you have Vagcom?

145 in an Ibiza scary !! lol I poop myself and back off at 125 bannanas per hour !!

i unpluged it and when i started it up the tcs light came on and stayed on so i turned it off and on a few times and it still stayed on so i took it for a spin it did'nt seem that much different so when i got home i pluged it back in and turn it on and off a few times and now the lights goes out but the bad thing about this little test of the maf the engine management light has come on

 

[leegt5]

It should go out when you plug it back in as mine did !!

it ant stupid car

no you normall yhave to clear the fault code on vag com, still i had the same problem at reaching speeds and the time it took to get there, so after changing the MAF the cars pullinng better than ever

 

[cresswell22]

but i unpluged it and it were'nt really thet different

 

[Kevgrady]

i didnt see much difference either as when the MAF is ****ed it doest just stop working all the time sometimes it slowly dies.

 

[cresswell22]

what else do you think it could be

 

[cresswell22]

but if your maf is f***** and you unplug it what should the car perform like

 

[Kevgrady]

apparently it performs as i should but mine never i just replaced the MAF to get the car running as it should

 

[gavthelad]

When my maf was dying i tried unplugging it and it didnt seem any faster or slower, replaced it and now she screams along!!! Must admit, i wouldnt fancy doing 145mph in an ibiza.

 

[cresswell22]

i am so tempted to stick it in a garage and let them sort it out but it will cost a bomb

 

[cresswell22]

i no what you mean 140 scared me abit

 

[Kevgrady]

give Alex a call at TTS Roadsport they sell MAF's for £60, and you can fit it yourself 5 min job

 

[cresswell22]

how long is the warranty because the one i had put on was only three months ago

 

[Kevgrady]

havent got a clue, was it a bosch one or a cheaper version
