I had nothing to lose as my AFM was Fooked!

Took it all apart,and soldered all joints,also cleaned the hot wire with contact cleaner and a cotton wool bud

 

 

 

 

 

 

At Trax the car would not rev above 2500rpm,just had a test drive now she is bouncing off the 7000 mark!

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! nice saving of £380

That was lucky mate - now you can spend the cash on other mods instead

 

What a respray in silver?!?

 

------------------

nice one !! looks a very technical piece of kit .

 

------------------

It is,got a shock when I opened it up

 

Group buy on AFM repairs? LOL

Typical Bloody Noorvaaneer

 

Spends two days up to his neck in solder just to save £380!

 

Any chance you can have a look at mine!

 

LOL

I suspect that the cleaning had more to do with it than the soldering, but time will tell, eh ?

No Mac that repair is down to me. I spoke to Uri Geller and asked him to think posative thoughts and rub his magic crystals for your airflow meter and hey presto it worked.

Tonight i shall be rubbing my magic balls and thinking about a lottery win

Andy, the engine would not rev above 2.5K rpm. This happens when the ecu detects an error (open circuit or short circuit) on the MAS. It switches over to just use the TPS instead for airflow measurements and does not allow the engine above 2.5K rpm to save damage... This is sometimes reffered to as 'get me home' mode. So in short, I recon its the soldering that sorted it - there will have been a dry joint somewhere....

 

Make sense?

 

CheerZ,

It does indeed, but it doesn't explain why no error codes show up on the ECU.

 

You are both wrong,as it was the soldering and the cleaner that did it

Well at least it means I can have my spare back (which is nice!)

LOL yea thanks Andy got it today,will send it straight back mate,Danny has still got your o2 tool by the way.

Paulg, if massaging your magic balls really gets you a lottery win, can you massage mine and get me a 360 Modena GT and a young blonde nympho? My wife rubbed my magic balls on Saturday and I won £100, so hopefully you can do better.

I doubt you have repaired it...as once the AFM goes bad,in my experience,it will probably do so again!Probably on the next longish journey you undertake!

Yes Skodas are great cars!Do yourself a favour and buy an old Rapide...They're great for hillclimbing

Just don't fit a dodgy red bodykit to it!
