You got a point there... I guess by spending 115$ on a tow is an insurance to not spend 3-4k on a new motor.

 

BUMP!

Have any of you ever fixed this type of problem by unwrapping the wires that lead to the MAF and finding a frayed wire??

Thanks

 

just asking here......did you do any damage when disconnecting the plug to the MAF?

 

Yes i noticed the plug is a bit damaged but its just the edges.. that might be the problem???

 

P1278 = fuel metering solenoid short to positive so it either a wiring short out or the fuel solenoid

 

Yeah, but im getting P1287 not P1278... but thats for the help though

Take it to the dealer if you want. I know there has to be some other Audi/VW guys in your area. Try looking on this board and the others for soemone to help you.

 

my apols there P1287 = turbo bypass valve open circuit, wiring open circuit of bad bypass valve

 

So I went back to where my car was and brought a new coil pack with me and a new connector for the MAF. After replacing the connector to the MAF i still get a low voltage reading to the MAF of P0102 but the car runs fine now and no more misfires coming from cyl. 3 (po303)... So im still going to bring it the dealer to check the wiring of the MAF but im happy thats its back up and running and i can drive it there..


Thanks for the help people!
