damovdk 0 Posted April 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 hey mate not that long ago maybe 500km ago i unplugged the maf whilst running and made no difference but im told that this model of engine does this? it only seem to be once the cars warmed up if i drive say up to shop and back home from cold its fine if car warms up tho in mean time it starts to lag under acceleration almost like its about to run out of gas if i play with throttle i can normally drive thru it then it takes off also when its idling warm it hunts real bad Link to post Share on other sites
Flylow 2 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 How about the temperature sensor on the thermostat housing. That sends signal to the ecu as to the temp. That does cause issues on golf I have had. Link to post Share on other sites
