NorfolkNWeigh Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 The answer to LP's and my question appears in the Captain's linked article; a secondhand MAF sensor cured it. I'm sure that had been tried by someone before, or maybe we all assumed it had! That picture of me without a beard looks weird, I'd shaved it off for the first time in more than 10 years that day and haven't shaved since , I only recognise myself because of the t-shirt.

Captain Slow Posted June 22, 2019 Author Share Posted June 22, 2019 The MAF (brand new from eBay) cured the power loss issue Richard's daughter experienced, not the hunting. It still hunts, but I think getting someone with VCDS to increase the revs at idle by 50rpm will help. Suspect a worn pump but upping the idle will mask it. It's currently sitting in mild disgrace on the Bromley Pageant showfield as the aux belt snapped leaving the M25! If I can't find one at the show it'll be Big Yellow Taxied home. No big deal though.
