cheers
i'll note n save the details.
You're welcome
no idea yet ..
if experimenting via the maf unit .. would mean sacrificing a maf sensor probably..
unless there's a way to temporarily isolate certain pins ..
as is .. i've got a cut-down dummy maf fitted .. [ i cut off the section that's in the airflow ]
keeps the cable plug protected.
now .. it's .. fit-workin-maf-4-mot .. replace with dummy maf when out of sight of mot garage ..
[ cause the current fault is ''low maf signal'' ..
[ be ok-ish on the flat .. but a p.i.t.a. uphill ...
[ and .. the only way home is via rather steep climbs
I have sacrificed an old one which I tried to cut open in the beginning with a Dremel like tool, but got to nowhere so far. It seems completely poured into plastic. Didn't follow up further.
You can separate the pins in the 'black box' except for the number two on the MAF side. At least I couldn't locate that one. I'd
really like to know on mine if it's on -40 degrees then. In the live data section it is not, when completely unplugged, checked it today, Maybe I should check all the other bits in Pscan if it's there, before I start going into un-connecting single pins.
-Having the same issues when I plug it in uphill poor flat quite ok, West London so not an issue except for some minor uphills but even those are annoying. Proper hills is really bad.
- Maybe I would have a low maf signal as well if using Hawkeye. When I saw Andyfreelandy's overview once from Pscan I thought that should/could be a reference, but never got close to there unless unplugged.
- read somewhere yesterday or the day before that they took off the grille from the MAF, but shall not be that good and put it back in. You took off the whole bit then?
i just want to find out if it'd pass mot emissions .. with just the i.a.t. wired up.
certainly drives well without the maf connected,
no smokey exhaust .. mpg dropped by '2' ..
i'll probably attack the maf fault issue after this mot .. which is soon-ish ..
as i need to inspect the maf > turbo ducting 1st ..
n that means undertray 'off' by the looks of it ..
- I think that would be interesting if it passes with a dummy. I think I mentioned a while back that mine had passed the MOT with the MAF unplugged, really bad, but it did. I guess the emission stick somehow works. Went there a second time saying sorry was unplugged (was prepared to pay them 20 quid or so, but they said no is ok) the mechanic was really happy saying values almost like new. Would be nice to know with pin pulled for input what the values are, but can't go there again. If input missing there still should be a fault code, but if output unplugged if that happens as well? Maybe I will try that one as well, just no output, but input and IAT. My mpg went down as well, not that much I think but good enough. Also wondering about possible side effects on missing input signal now that you mentioned it. Maybe I also should send an email to buyer of the stick. He once mentioned in a call that he got a tuning box on his A6 and told the manufacturer to change values to his calculations. Am wondering if those were related to MAF.
- Had also no smoke, when cold smelt bad, but once a bit warmer couldn't smell anything anymore. When cold that might be that I still haven't changed the glow plugs as I am reluctant to break one off, but also never drove it really hot before trying.
