If you mean someone with a T 2 then no, there is VX masterfit near me but pretty much gave up with them years ago (how much should they charge to plug there box in)?

Actually I do know someone with a Opel Reader (would that work) but the last time spoke to him he couldn't get it to work on hes new Laptop.

Not sure if I wanna be spending lots of money on this (ex's Car) Tax was out last Friday, and MOT's up in March, starting to think maybe get a Mot done first and go from there, would still be nice to fix the fault though!.

I know this is my first post (I'm looking for an lpg 2.5v6 to replace my passat tdi, and happened accross this thread so thought I'd register to help):

I can almost guarantee it's the MAF sensor based on the symptoms you describe.

They can usually be had on ebay for 20-100 depending on the application. If it doesn't solve it, I'll eat the replacement part.

Modified to add:

there is indeed on on ebay:

Valid point, but get codes read before splashing out on one.  Or checking it actually has one (early TDs (U25DT) didn't have a MAF, only later X25DT)

Thanks for your input Kieth, will look into it.

Just in case, need to know where you live and do you want me to bring a Knife and Fork.

Thanks for taking the time to register.

A failed MAF won't usually throw up a code for some reason (even though there is an error code for maf sensor).

To check you've got one- follow the 'airbox' hose back to the inlet manifold and it'll be along there somewhere.

have knife and fork, will travel, but hopefully won't be required.

no probs for registering, I know how saddening it can be to have a problem that just doesn't seem to get fixed!

Yup, on the X25DT, it right by airbox, unmissable

The 2.5TD very,very rarely puts on the EML with faults, in true BMW style (gives a false impression that car is more reliable).  Unplugging the MAF certainly doesn't bring on EML (forgot to plug it in on mine once  )

More common is the inlet trunking becoming detached from the turbo.....

or holed as I suggested earlier, but it seems acceleration to 70ish is OK  :-/

[keith2.2]

did you get this fixed?
