Hey guys,just need some adive on me maf. Just done the 3rd gear test using vag com. Got the following results.

My motor is a 1.8T, Revo'd, Forge DV, 76k miles, and a tiny bit down on power. Im guessing this is the problem!

Do i spend ?70 on a new one or is it worth tryin one from a breakers (cos im skint!)

 

[andymac]

get a new one seriously wasting money on a use one, if your skint just think about your mpg improving

 

[Malky]

Yep, knackered!

 

[Turbo Batch]

thought so, new MAF coming up!

Check this out. Imported the data i gathered from the VAG COM log into the format which the software we use in work to analyse the race car uses, then plotted a X/Y graph, same results but more detailed.

Interesting to note that peak is only 102 from a car which is suppose to be close to 180bhp. Thats a hell of a lot of power loss

See my results below, You should get a nice smooth curve

Figures are in g/s for airflow, not BHP!!

I think you guys need to smooth your stock airboxes, run an 80mm intake feed and replace the filter with a Green Cotton panel filter!

Either 002 or 003.

lol at Gary M,

What speed were you pulling at 7K in 4th Gear!!!

On a private runway of course!!

 

[markie]

HOW DO YOU DO THIS TEST ??

Gary,

I've smoothed my air box and tried to run pipe last weekend, but there didn't seem to be room round the battery and downwards. And what looks like the horn is in the way by the airvent... Any ideas?

 

[Malky]

Using VAG-COM;

1. engine block

2. measuring block group 2 or 3

3. Log the data to a file

4. Go to a long flat straight bit of road.

5. I used 2nd gear, foot to the floor until you dare not rev it higher!

6. Graph it using Excel...

You may get better results using 4th gear, but you need a private runway and a lot of bottle to log this!!

CHEERS M8,I'LL GIVE IT A GO LATER

How does the MAF reading react to high temperature? I've done a log on my 1.8T AUQ 180hp and had a maximum reading of 114g/[email protected] and ambient temperature of 35degrees C or even more(95 F). Is that ok?

Did you remove everything from the old intake including the black plastic thing at the rear of the headlight?

I didnt have a problem getting an 80mm flexible pipe down behind it but it was tight.

To get to the airvent I had to bend and twist the brackets slightly for the horn.
