Title: 2.2 dti - eml running problem still - maf sensor?
Post by: JDX on 11 November 2013, 10:08:05
Hi all, the shine on my lovely omega estate is starting to dull!
I have read a lot on here about the eml coming on and hence a loss of power and also about the maf sensor. I have been driving my car like this for months now....the eml comes on at tick over and at around 65-70 and unless its my imagination (which it isn't), going up slight gradients! I am looking at the maf sensor now - I have removed it and am cleaning it meticulously with iso alcohol. The air filter box will be cleaned and I have a new filter. My first question is: when I removed the maf sensor I disconnected it from the pipe which leads into the turbo charger. This pipe had a bit of oil settled in it, is that right/normal? Question 2: I know I should get the tech 2 gadget to read my code when the light is on...is there anybody in the Suffolk/Essex region who has one please? Thank you.  :)

Normally eml or power loss problems are down to vacuum problems. Check your vacuum fittings
Especially the U shaped one at the back of the head that perishes.
