I changed my front brakes on my '00 Golf this weekend and was too cheap to get some with the sensors. How do I turn off the dash light? Is there a VAG-COM...
I vaguely remember previous discussions about disconnecting the MAF sensor. Can someone jog my memory as to why someone would do this? Also, what effect ...
You would only disconect the MAF to determine if the MAF was faulty. If it runs better with it disconected, the MAF is probably bad. You would have to have the...
FYI: In this past Sunday-Paper, KRAGENS had a vague OIL coupon which happened to include Mobil 1 for 1.99 a QT (in the picture). Anyway, because all the new...
The CEL/GP light can also be reset by anyone with a VagCom or with any ODB II scan tool (and you can borrow one al amost all major auto parts store, Autozone...
You are correct. What I should of said is that it won't reset by itself. Paul L Fisher 2000 Volkswagen Golf GLS TDI - White - 131,000 miles. - OldNavy CCV 2002...
I did not get several digests due to AOL bouncing my yahoo groups........so I don't know what was said about my predicament of loss of power. I disconnected...
If it was the MAF, you would see a dramatic increase in performance when you disconnect it. The CEL doesn't go on immediately, I had to drive for close to 10...
Just so you're not surprised, Autozone's official policy is that they will READ codes, but not CLEAR them. Of course the level of adherence to this policy will...
I agree, Auto Zone is NOT my first choice either. Advance Auto parts always clears mine for me when I ask them if "that thing" can clear codes too. It can't...
Hey guys, On the way home yesterday I thought I'd try unhooking the MAF Thanks, -CALI 2001 Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI Manual -Black- 93,000 miles _____ From:...
Hey guys, Yesterday, on my drive home, I thought I'd unhook my MAF sensor and see what happens...WOW! I had such a performance difference I couldn't believe it...
You disconnect it to test if it's failing. Purely diagnostic. No performance gains if that's what your thinking. ... Chris Thornton 1991 VW Jetta GL 2 Door...
Or use VAG-COM to clear the codes and CEL. ... Chris Thornton 1991 VW Jetta GL 2 Door 1.6 Diesel - 251k miles AMSOIL Synthetic Lubricants Independent Dealer...
"Why doesn't VW do what BMW does and make the sensor swappable from one set of brakes to another?" To force you to buy OEM pads from the stealership or course....
Actually, EBC makes and several other aftermarket brake manufacturers sell pads with the sensor built in. For example, when I did my '02 Jetta, the EBC ...

If it's bad and you disconnect it, there is a HUGE performance gain. I think you can get the MAF at the VW dealer for about that same money. I just left mine...
I haven't had any trouble and on a recent trip, I got 49.65 MPG going 60 - 70 MPH. Is that normal? Are you saying that it would have been better with a MAF? ...
Normally the computer would make the car run rich if it can't see input from the MAF so theoretically your MPG would be better with a functioning MAF. Paul L...
Nobody has proven better or worse mileage but Paul is dead on that the system just calls for a bit more fuel since it doesn't know what's happening. My guess...
