Electronic Throttle Pedal
Since my VW dealer replaced my fualty injector pump I have dificulty starting when hot i.e. crank for 4-5sec's When cold, even well below freezing I have no problem. The dealer tells me I need a new throttle pedal. I sourced a second hand one & it cured the problem for a few weeks but the problem has now returned. Again my VW dealer tells me a new throttle pedal is needed. Has any body else had a similar problem?
Mass Air Flow Sensor.
When looking for my second hand TDI's I noticed most that had 80 to 110,000KMs neede or had had the MAss Air Flow Sensor replaced. The one I purchaced needed the M.A.F S. changing. I have spoken to a few mechanics who have suggested that I remove & spray carb cleaner through it every 30,000km's to help prevent premature failer of this unit as this is a $500.00CND part. Has any body any advice on the maintenance of the M.A.F.S.?
I am taking your advise of how to reduce if not stop the carbon build up in the intake manifold as I also have had to have this cleaned.
Thanks in advance for your comments.
