Default car shakes at 60-80mph?

Hey, i have a 225 audi tt and it shakes at 60-80mph. it started today. can this be caused by a faulty MAF? or its something else? the whole car vibrates at 70,75 mph and gets worse when you accelerate?

Definitely not the MAF...

I'd replace your blinker fluid before The MAF.

Sounds like a wheel is off balance, or you need an alignment.

Check to see if a wheel weight fell off (Look for a clean spot in your brake dust on the inside of the wheel)

Or maybe with the weather you have some ice on the rim that is throwing the balance off.

Ice stuck inside the wheel well. Go to a carwash and high pressure spray that $hit out.

Speedo says 75, radar says 10 .

Boost + Ice = Speedo Error.

check your tires also ......sometimes a bubble can form insideand throw your whole balance off resulting in a blown tire later down the line.

Same thing happened to me in snowy conditions. Just kick the packed snow out from under your wheel wells as mentioned above.
