RE: Re: New RS4 owner - too many questions!

Hey Boogerloo... couple of things to look into. Firstly this is by far the best RS4 side out there. Best thing to do is get it onto vag com regarding trying to pin down performance issues. First thing I'd do is a FATS test and check the MAF readings. They are known to degrade over time. Cheap easy f...

RE: Fuel Vapour Smells

As far as I'm aware the MAF will not give a fault code even when reading low due to aging... possibly air leak?

Get vag-com plugged in and start logging tell tale blocks... MAF readings, boost pressures etc. Don't have block numbers off hand but as far as I call 003 and 115

RE: Mindless morons

Dublin, Ireland... don't know if I'm jinxed when I change my car. Last time I had the BMW 5 days and the neighbour hit the back of it in our drive way and denied it!

RE: "Light repair to the front"

Basics are good... 2002 and early 60K miles but even still. Value of a cat D even when its put right is probably about 17K at best.

At a high level description... hook up your vagcom. Log blocks 003 and 115. Put it in third gear and set cruise control at 45mph. Start logging, give it the beans to 7,000 rpm. Repeat a few times. Have a look at your maf readings, they are in g/s. This will tell you how your maf is behaving. Post re...
