Hello again everyone! For months I'm trying to find a fix for this but I can't seem to find one and I don't want to start spending money on parts which might not cure it... Anyone has any ideas? I've removed the steering wheel and cleaned the connections for the steering angle sensor and all...

To put an end to it... Here is what I replaced and the level of effectiveness: - All suspension bushes replaced (life threatening vibration) - Steering shock absorber replaced (life threatening vibration sometimes) - Drag link replaced (20% vibration gone) - 3 wheel alignments and wheel...

AC fixed. Compressor (used), condenser (used) and dryer (new) replaced. 400 eur all in all. Topic closed.

Just to close the topic... Spark plugs and leads cut it. After changing that, CO emissions went down by 1.0 units. In the end, replaced air filter, air mass meter, did a couple of intake cleaning treatments, spark plugs and leads. Problem fixed (for now...)

Readings with new MAF and old O2 sensors...

That wasn't a bad day...

Bosch genuine. What he says is that the O2 sensors must have a lot of carbon so the mixture is not quite right. With a new MAF and old O2 sensors the readings are unbalanced. Think of it as buying only one new shoe. It won't give you a balanced walk. You new either both used shoes or both new.

No, I went with him. The testing center is not far from the workshop. Before we went he swapped the MAF from one of his P38's, loosen the petrol tank cap (you could hear the pressure release) and sprayed the throttle body with some tune up/cleaning ACDelco stuff. We drove over there (5min...

How about this one...? The guys at the workshop threw in a used MAF sensor from another 4.6, loosen the petrol tank cap and got it to pass! :eek:

It's not that bad considering I live in a sand dune...

I would have to take the readings again. What other values would help and on what conditions? As I said, here they only test idle. I've sent the car to the workshop this morning anyway and told them to get it passed. If it passes, they'll fix the AC, an axle boot and a washer pump, which I had...

That screenshot was at partial load. But then again, I don't know how reliable is an obd wifi dongle and a smartphone app...

Here they only measure idle emissions...

They're not going to charge me for the clutch, after all, I drove only 10 Km before it failed again. Deep down, I suspect they knew. I came to collect my car today and they didn't ask for a payment. "Take it and see if it's ok" they said... Figures...!

No... Petrol's still very cheap here!
