My 99.5 Jetta TDI appears to eat MAF's for breakfast and I'm at the point where replacing MAFs doesn't seem like the correct way to clear a CEL.
In the 7 years I've had the car, the first lasted 4 yrs.. subsequently they seem to last anywhere from 1 month to 12 months.
CEL code speaks to MAF showing out of range. The current maf is under a month old. 2 months ago i took the car in because it was smoking out a lot and the mechanic thought the turbo needed replacing, but ended up 'fixing it' by pulling everything apart and cleaning things-- its still smokes sometimes, but much less.
Car has an Upsolute chip i put in when it was 2.. anyone have any good ideas? Another mechanic recommended I check the voltage on all the engine connections.
In GTA area if someone is a brain surgeon on this type of thing and wants to help
