Limp TDI Golf

We were called out to Enfield to look at a MK4 Golf  TDI which had kept on going into limp mode

 

The owner had carried out a timing belt change and was expecting the timing to be the cause of the car underperforming

After a quick VCDS scan, we pinpointed the issue with the MAF (or Mass Air Flow Meter)

The usual “Man with Vagcom” would have told the customer that the MAF was the cause and walked away however we swapped the MAF with a known working replacement and the fault reoccured

We checked the wiring to the MAF and we noticed that the wiring going to the MAF was perished which was triggering the fault. After we repaired this (in the dark and in freezing conditions!) we had the car running back to optimum performance. After a test drive the customers face told us that our job here was done!

 

We also supplied & fitted a TT rear view mirror to the customers car. This is a bolt on fit and popular with dubbers as its black in colour and slightly rounded.

 

Another Happy customer!
