205 GTI air flow meter help
Discussion
Back in February my ratty but much-loved old 205 was loaded onto the back of a truck and taken away to a mechanic. There was one question: Will it ever work again?
After several weeks of poking around, he appears to be about to answer in the negative. He has had it running very roughly by removing the air flow meter but as soon as it is reconnected the car dies. Without the car running he is unable to diagnose the myriad other problems that no doubt plague the thing.I'd very much love to save the car but it's looking increasingly likely that its last trip will be to a scrapyard. Sniff.
Does anyone know of a) somewhere that can check and/or repair an airflow meter and ECU, or b) whether those bypass chip things on Ebay would work sufficiently to get the car running temporarily?
