Faulty maf?
The blue one feels sluggish when accelerating, more so now than it did before, missus also said when she was following me the car was chucking out a bit of smoke, only when I was accelerating tho, not excessive but enough.
The car also seems very reluctant to rev cleanly and smoothly in any gear, especially if I try going over 2500 rpm, is this the sign of a failed maf? Thanks. |

Unplug the MAF and see if it makes a difference, what colour was the smoke ? and how much. This is a useful mod to do https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=307029

Hi Steve,
My missus said it was black, far from excessive but it smoked, and only when I accelerated hard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

[QUOTE=Ched;2887454]Hi Steve,

After a trip north to pay our respects to Debz I decided to look at why the car was using more fuel than it usually does and a complete lack of power.
So this morning I unplugged the maf then took the car out for a quick drive, quick was the only way to describe it to its previously lethargic state. A new genuine bosch maf now ordered from another members recommendations for the princely sum of £106, a job no doubt for next weekend if it arrives in time. |

You are more than welcome to come up. We keep saying we will come down to see you, but unfortunately Johns wife is having a lot of problems with the hip repair from last April, lots of pain, in fact she has a hosp appointment this morning.Might find out what is going on . Glad you sorted the maf out.Remember us to Karen.

I'd also check the intercooler O rings while your hands are dirty - a common complaint, and resolved at a very reasonable price: https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/rov...er-o-rings-kit
Not a bad job to fit either.
