Default Car is starting to get sluggish. MAF?
I have a 180 TT. It started to run sluggish and i am thinking it is the MAF. I have searched but could not find the process on how to check the MAF.

I have a VAG and i know I should log block 002. What is the idea reading? Also, should i go with a refurb MAF? or VW MAF?

Default don't get a vw maf with a 180 ...

you can get an audi maf from west broad audi for about $80 or so, iirc.

Default yes, really. i made this mistake and then about a dozen other ...
people came out of the woodwork and said it doesn't work correctly. not surprising, since it wasn't made for our cars. given that there's only a $35 difference between the vw and the audi part, why bother?
