eml is back
« on: 25 July 2010, 13:50:36 »
Two months after replacing the MAF sensor and eml off.
It's back on with code 0173 0170.
I checked Vacuum pips, no leak found.
Is it possible the MAF sensor fail after two months :-/?

maybe a cheap pattern sensor sold as genuine? I guess only answer is to buy a known genuine one from a dealer and try that  :-/

Pattern MAF sensors not usually a problem.

I reckon it's the cheap MAF - I've put 2 on mine and the eml went off for about 2 weeks each, just drive it with it on now  ::)
