UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Sorry to drag my own thread up from the depths of the forum, But I'm out in Qatar for a month wiv the RAF and am a bit bored.... sand and more sand!!

Looking 4ward to sorting my car out!

Just letting u all know what I'm gonna b up2 when I get bk..... the problem was still there after an MAF change ...

Right, I've driven the car for around 50 miles since changing the MAF............
And the problem's still there!!

Not a happy bunny, oh well just have to keep on looking!!
At least I've got a nice new MAF.... great!

Right, I have finally bitten the bullet and bought a new MAF sensor from our friend Mr VW.
£90 - £20 (for my old one when i take it back).

It's changed over, off to take it out for a test drive in a bit.

Fingers crossed

I work at RAF Brize Norton in oxfordshire and live in Gloucester.

I'll go the MAF sensor route first, then if it doesn't solve it i'll chat to the tuning company.

Cheers guys!!

Cheers for that, I'd be more than happy if it is the MAF sensor as its a pretty easy fix.

Hi guys and girls.. probs with my TDI sport 100.
I've lived with it for about a month now but I really need to find the cause of this problem.

The Problem

Anywhere between 50-80ish mph in 4th or 5th gear I lose all boost pressure, I can feel it straight away... it's as if I haven't got a turbo ...

I had the same problem (no boost), the other day.

Turned the engine off and back on again and all appered normal, after a few more miles it happened again so I disconnected the MAF sensor, It made no difference.
At the moment it's working fine, but I know its not gone away!! :(

Will be ...

After much debating of where to get my Polo serviced (VW or not) I decided to take it to a VAG specialist - Auditechnik in Gloucester.

Very good customer service, they knew the car inside out, put it through a diagnostics test and adjusted my xenon headlights at no extra cost.

All in after tax it ...

TEST

sig test

Hope all goes well dude, fingers crossed for you!

Thats just what I'd do mate, and you're right £20's a good few pints down the pub!!

To be honest an MOT's an MOT. I'd take it to a normal garage just to get it stamped up, worry about going to a VW / VW specialist when servicing time comes.

Mate, its a 4 year old car.... it should be fine!

And if the tyres are low on 'tread' you should get them changed anyway, not just for MOT reasons.

It'll be ok
