MickyC Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi guys, I'm new here and really appreciate your time. I have a VW Golf 1.9 TDI which has a power loss issue. After driving for approximately 20/30 minutes my car will start to lose power, especially when in and around roundabouts, driving at over 2500rpm or driving uphill. In the last week I have replaced the air filter, air flow meter and done an oil change. I had a brand new battery approximately 2 months ago (which is roughly when my problems started). One of my mates hooked up his laptop and found a fault with the MAF which I have since replaced but have not yet had the errors removed - I'm going to see him again tomorrow. It also had an error relating to Cylinder 1 but he was sure this was due to the MAF not putting enough air in. This morning, for example, I drove 16 miles before any of the symptoms started but once they kicked in the remaining 40 odd miles were a nightmare! The only thing I haven't done yet, which I can do myself, is replace the fuel filter and check the plugs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser647 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi ya! Did you replace the MAF with a proper Bosch one? If not, then take it back and get a Bosch one. Cheapo Chinese ones are sh1te. First of all anyway. By the way, what are the symptoms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
