But it only measures the air flow and density of the air passing over it, this is taken directly from the air filter. I don't see how operation of the EGR valve could affect this. I have no doubt the MAF is used as a calculation within the ECU to determine EGR operation but it is absolutely...

And to measure the amount of exhaust gasses would imply the EGR valve recirculates the gasses in to the intake system before the air filter. The MAF sensor is located directly after the air filter...

How does the MAF sensor know the difference between clean air and exhaust gasses?

Have you checked the air filter?

Must be German then ;)

Looking at getting some General Grabber AT's. Anyone had these? Are they good in snow and ice ? My job entails getting called out to mobile phone sites when there is a problem, as it's coming up to winter and a lot of my patch is in the highest parts of Norh Wales so I need a tyre that is good...

Could be MAF, have you tried unplugging it?

Sorted, different part number from 2004, oddly my local euro car parts have one in, collecting it tomorrow

Cheers what does the from 1A0000001 mean? I'm assuming it's the VIN if so mine has 4a...... Would this fit?

Evening, does anyone have the part number for a passenger mirror glass, heated and folding. Bust mine trying to get it out. I seem to recall they are a different fitment for the facelift. Cheers

Love it mate, had a 56plate that I ran to 250k, sold it for 500 quid to a garage who replaced the oil cooler and sold it for £2500, still see it around. I miss that car

Thanks fellas

Cheers mate, do you have any photos, want to see what they look like in the arches.

Not your average silicone though ;)

Brill, tyre shopping it is then!

The previous owner of mine tried that, it still leaked and was a pain to get out as I had to cut the silicone away to get it out. Replacement was about £45 and to 10 minutes to fit once I'd extracted the old one. Seems they are good for about 2 years

Rear high level light leak is common and will go again, poor design as it's just a foam seal. Rear door lock actuators are common, strangely it seems to be driver side rear that fails the most. As it's a 2013 the rear diff should be OK as it was modified from late 2009, was a common failure...

Hi all. Looking at options for new tyres. The 225/55/17s that are fitted now have less choice and are more expensive than 225/65/17s. I have read that the 65 profile can be fitted without any mods and others say they can't. So, does anyone have a definitive answer to this, as in they've done...

Morning all, hopefully this is in the right place and I'm not breaking any posting rules. I'm thinking about changing my wheels to 16s as it gives me more choice of AT tyre. I was thinking along the lines of getting some modulars with tyres but I'm looking at about 500 quid all in for 4, which...
