MAF sensor
« on: August 04, 2012, 02:36:10 pm »
Hi all I was driving earlier today in my Leon (cupra) and the MAF died. I unplugged it the car restarted and drove fine plugged It back in and died instantly.
 Where would be best to buy another and are they the same as a normal GTI?

Dealer will sell you a bosch part at an inflated price.

Andrew page or euro car parts will sell the same part at a better price.

Symptoms were rough idle followed by car not responding to throttle inputs then failure to start.
 I disconnected it and all returned to normal. I cleaned the sensor and it is working again albeit the dealer I bought it from will be supplying a new 1 on Monday
