Howdy all,
For a while now, my TT was hesitating when accelerating. Sometimes, it would not rev past 5k rpm. After *three* trips to the dealer, they finally got enough fault codes to diagnose the problem. A faulty Mass Air Sensor. The element had burned out (after only 27k miles). Just passing it on in case you are having mysterious hesitation problems.

MAF's are dying right and left on VW's as well

so what's the "F" in MAF means? (dare I ask...)

I believe it stands for "flow" but not positive on that.

Wouldn't it be funny if it's the MAF and not the DV on all our cars? (j/k)

thanks, it rings a bell now - couldn't remember the word.

Dealer reported 3 dead MAF's in the last three days (nt)
