mass air meter (also called MAF)

[Jack_and_MLE]

Good morning everyone

Quick question to regarding the mass air metre of my A6 2.5 tdi 2003.

To check if it is working OK, if I disconnect it how does the car should feel like?
Will a faulty MAM give a error code?

Cheers

Jack

If it feels the same, then the MAF is knackered.

Completetly wrong. If you are suffering a loss of power and it comes back to life if you run it with the air mass meter disconnected then 9/10 the air mass meters fooked. Wouldnt suggest its this on that engine though but could be wrong.

Fair enough, I was told that if its the same when turned off (as in mine was constantly spluttering) then the MAF isn't working, obviously if its worse then its actually doing its job.
