Right just got a new MAF, not a Bosch one I might add and my cars running well dodgy. The seller reckons I need to reset the ECU. Is this correct? Also will my Audi chorus ask for a code when the ECU is reset? Will ECU resetting it affect anthing else on the car?

Cheers.

Vag it and take a look at the MAF readings.

Is the MAF intended to be an exact replacement of the stock unit? If so, no ECU reset needed.

I never had to reset my ecu when i swapped it out.

Well I dissconnected my battery for 15 minutes hoping that would reset ECU??? drove it again and still the same thing, realy erratic boost. Even a feeling the traction controll wasnt working. Still getting no codes and no lights tho.

And yeah its supposed to be a direct replacement for my old MAF, mad by Durchfluss or somethiing. That l teach me for buying cheapies.

a controlled shutdown using non-volatile memory. Battery disconnect can work on some cars to clear KA memory, but not the B6 AFAIK.
