MAF problems?

[VWEAPN]

hi

this has been an ongoing problem for 6months or so. at times when driving the car starts to jump like its stauling. usually happens when no accelerator is used. when i disconnect all air flow sensors it eliminates the problem...then returns after a day or so.

any sugestions?

Try cleaning the throttle body then reset to basic settings. If you don't have VAG-COM take one battery terminal off and short em out.

There's a MAF cleaner spray from CRC... might work to clean the MAF out? I got same issues, so i might give that a go...

Unplug the maf sensor in the air intake pipe to the TB.
If it then revs better you need a new MAF.
I have some from the US at work if you are in need.

This only works on drive by wire cars .
Which MAF works from US based cars on the AGU engine ?
None of the US Mafs run the old rectangular plug but the VR6 , which is a larger Maf anyway ???

Why would you get one with a rectangular plug?

These are for the AGU and simply from America where I can buy them cheaper.

AGU runs the rectangular plug same as the VR6
All the other east west 1.8ts run the newer style plug .
The US never got the old style plug

Which MAF?

Does anyone know which MAF to purchase for the AGN 1.8 (non-turbo). I saw several on ECS' website but none have the "AGU" code against them.

AGU 1.8 (non turbo), are you sure? never heard of that

[Golf4]

Its a 99 GLE, see my profile pic. I checked a service receipt and they noted the engine as 'AGU'.....but I think your right....I dug around further and it looks to be an AGN - so I'm looking for the correct MAF for an AGN. would it be cheaper to source locally?
