So after thinking the MAF CEL had gone away for good, I'm driving home today and all of a sudden my car starts boosting only to 5psi. I take it home, scan it, and here's what I get.

A few days ago, I was having problems with the MAF connector, and thought I had solved it, but the same code is being thrown now that I thought I had taken care of. No CEL though. Here's the thread from a few days ago

Where do I even begin?! I just checked all the codes on Ross-Tech, but I'm a little overwhelmed... could all of this be caused by the MAF?

 

wait so you don't have a cel but vag com brought up those codes? try clearing it again

 

Correct, no CEL but I VAGd the car and thats what I got... I'll go reset the ECU, see if it helps... wouldn't they just come back though?

 

sometimes stored codes will do that. how come your vag won't clear codes? what software you using?

 

I have no idea. Every time I say clear, it never gets rid of the CEL. I have an old version, Release 311.2-N, if that means anything. I'm clearing CELs by unplugging the battery for 30min at this point.

 

download the 403.1 and see what happens

 

I'm using a... *cough*free*cough* version which I uhh... lost my registration key to.

 

well you don't have to pay for the key to scan and erase codes

 

Oh wait, this whole time I was just clicking "Clear Results". Duh. I have to double click on the fault code to open up the menu to clear it, right?

Aside from this, does this sound like a problem with my MAF?

 

ya everything the guys said in zine are right on the money
