fattb Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 Have you tried giving the MAF sensor a clean? No not yet, not sure what i need to do, is it easy to unclip/take out of the housing, I have done this only my old VAG cars but not on the Scoob, Should i use isopropanol ?
ROAR Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 hello matey, what car have you got? If you have a bugeye onwards loonybin has the gear to read the fault codes give him a pm i'm sure he may be able to help!!!

I have an 05, can the fault scan pick up a dogey maf ? never used to be able to on my VAG cars
fattb Posted March 31, 2008 Author Posted March 31, 2008 is it showing a fault, check engine light on ? Nope, just feels like its holding back a bit, probably the warm weather
Nudge Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 Loonybin has a fualt code reader and this would only find a registered fault on the ecu. Have you changed your fuel supplier, or using a lower ron fuel as this can cause the engine to hold back

big rob Posted March 31, 2008 Posted March 31, 2008 a have had bother with v power was a lil bit hesitant after hammering it . mine runs better on tesco's 99ron
granby Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 a have had bother with v power was a lil bit hesitant after hammering it . mine runs better on tesco's 99ron Mines the opposite, tescos 99 is fine just for driving round town but when you boot it it just doesn't feel right, put v power in and it pulls like a train
fattb Posted April 1, 2008 Author Posted April 1, 2008 Mines the opposite, tescos 99 is fine just for driving round town but when you boot it it just doesn't feel right, put v power in and it pulls like a train Ditto, Had a mail from Bob Rawle last night who said it may be "drive by emissions mode" as it has been driven quite carefully the last week or so Definately felt better last night on a fresh tank of V-Power and a good thrashing for a few miles Loonybin can i see how it go's for a few days in case it dosen't need a scan and i waste your time, but thanks for the kind offer Thanks Tony
big rob Posted April 1, 2008 Posted April 1, 2008 Mines the opposite, tescos 99 is fine just for driving round town but when you boot it it just doesn't feel right, put v power in and it pulls like a train i dont drive mine quick enough then perhaps
