car has good moments and bad moments

[M87NER]

you dont need torx bits...its just a clip on the maf that you disconnect.

The real-time mpg runs on how you are driving the car at the time. So when you aren't accelerating, it will be up in the 100s.

When you have your foot to the floor it will be down nearer or below your average.

Also, dont actually remove the MAF. Just unplug the lead thats plugged in to it.

 

[jason-jm]

let me just make sure, the maf is the circular link between the induction hose and the airbox/filter?

It just unplugs



also TCS... when the hazard symbol and arrows round it showing are on the dash, does that mean tcs is on?
or off?

Im unsure which setting is off and on

 

[Ibiza125]

The symbol should only show when it is on, therefore shouldn't be on often unless your forever loosing traction...

 

[jason-jm]

ah right Ive had my dash symbol off thinking it was on haha

Its only ever come on when I was going off a round about and put my foot down in boost.. it just flashed once

 

[cupra collins]

NO when the light is on all the time it TC is off then its flashing on and off thats when it is kicking in and holding the car back

so if I leave it off It should pull better?

 

[M87NER]

yeah it will feel much better pulling of and in between gear changes!

 

[jason-jm]

You think that could be my problem?

 

[M87NER]

It could be but your saying its sluggish and wont exceed 120ish?
when my maf was fooked it couldnt gain much than 100.
have you tried driving it around yet with the tcs light on? if not try it and see if it feels better.

 

[jason-jm]

but if I disconnect the maf wont it be restricted.. finishing work now soon so il go give it a try with light on...

then maf off

 

[p34ch3y]

its most prob the maf i should know as i have had 5 mafs so far in nearly 3 years

thats 4 on my 1st cupra n one so far on this one wich i have had for 4 months,jabba must smile when they see me roll up lol

or......a fauly n75 would cause that...or..........weak coil packs

i had 4 coil pack on my onvi cupa because two went at the same time so i just replaced the lot.......it felt like it bit much betta

 

[Ibiza125]

Oh right well on my mums car it's not on, then when it kicks in, it flashes on.

Just to clarify...

TCS Light Off = Traction Control Switched ON But Not Active (ie dry road lots of traction)
TCS Light On = Traction Control Switched OFF
TCS Light Flasing = Traction Control Switched ON And Active (ie booting it in the wet)

 

[jason-jm]

coil pack sounds dear

don't have a clue what n75 is...

turning traction control off make it alot better.. Il see how it goes after a few days I reckon

Coilpacks arnt expensive (about £25 each), and your N75 is a valve.
