Back on the road at last, swapped the MAF 2nite and car is running sweet as a nut, not b4 time that was almost 4 months the car was sitting square wheeled in the drive, cheers fellas for all the good comments, ideas and hands on help from some of the guys to get me back meanicing the chav's. a big thanks.

ah ok done that just there. I knew what pm's were but just could not see the button on how to send 1, put sorted it now.

dont know how to do the PM thing Doogsy, i can be contacted on james.mccairns@ntlworld.com im in clydebank area where r u at?

cheers.

does awd have a web site??

jc scoob where di u get it for 65 notes i can only see prices for over 100?

yeah i done that to no avail.

where is the cheapest to get a new MAF?

at the moment my car runs and idles better with the maf unplugged, as soon as its plugged in it pops with miss fire or cuts out. i think i need a new MAF, what do u mean the fillter caused it, was it the fibers from the filter contaminating the sensor?

What happen to the MAF sensor if i fit an induction kit is it bypassed and not used or is it just unplugged and left off. the reason im asking is i think i now have a faulty maf to add to all the other faults to the list and instead of buying a new maf sensor can i fit an induction kit instead. ?

that white GT-R is a rapid bit of kit.

cheers wuz i took ur coments on board and done a bit of tinkering about today on the brief, and i found thats it is diffenetly an air suction fault, i took of the top mounted intercooler and started the car with a direct air flow into the carb and the turbo and it ran like a dream a wee bit fast but i put that down to a rich air mix but no missfire or poping into the exhaust which is the main thing, then i stuck it back on and it started popping straight away, so i have ordered 2 inlet manifold gaskets and i hope that will do the trick.

hey aarongr what car are you running i was thinking of getting a sti8 scoop for my classic, but i dont knowif it would look silly, but the sccop is great on the proper car.

no i never used a new one thats a point i will check 2moro though. cheers

i am worling too dougster so i will need to arrange a time with ed that suits him

no problem matey. cheers

yeah i have the interface was just looking at prices to buy 1, but a wee scan with yours would be a start.

yeah i have found that. no mention of 85 anywhere.

yeah getting fed up now moncur.

yeah i have all those codes thru other sites, cheers anyway grant

im not using a obd2 code reader just the onboard diagnostics thru the flashing CEL by connecting the black plugs so cant match the 85 with any obd2 codes

yeah connecting the two black plugs it flashes 8 long and 5 short.

Does anyone know what fault code 85 relates to on a 1998 classic turbo?

he pics up an audi a6 2.5 tdi on monday i think, said somthing about maybe starting a new job in aberdeen so went for the sensible diesel until he knows whats happening. anyway away to get the bird from work then back under the bonnet, one of the draw backs of using her car while mine is off the road. i am going to try half a click out as it always seems to end up that way. its really doing my head in now not had my car running for 2 months now.
