OK people time to make some update
You can drive without the MAF indefinitely. The ecu uses a calculated value sans the MAF signal.
I did test runs with unplugged MAF.
the procedure was like this: I reset ecu and trims. Then I unplugged maf and did a test drive with vag-com.
LTFT gave me great values near 0%. But during this test ride my STFT was showing me 0% for all the time
After test I checked errors and got 2. First about MAF - so it's ok cause it was unplugged
and second with info that the car couldn't do Throttle body adaptation.
So I did a test again, but I changed the procedure a little.
I plugged MAF, then reset ecu and trims again THEN I did TB adaptation in block 060 and after that I unplugged maf for another test drive. Values were the same. Near 0% in LTFT and permanent 0% in STFT during whole drive.
After test I got only MAF error in ecu memory.
Then I plugged MAF, reset ecu and trims, did throttle body adaptation and did a test drive with plugged MAF. I got -18% LTFT after a few minutes of drive, and STFT was working and moving up and down the whole drive time.
What does it mean? I don't know. Maybe something, maybe nothing - you tell me
If it were me, I'd flash a known stock file (yours doesn't look stock, if the car is rated @180hp that's a crank figure, you're showing 179 at the wheels?) and keep the MAF plugged in.
What makes you think that my ecu is not stock? hmm what is wrong with the fact that my stock 180hb car gave 179hp when I checked it on dyno after I bought it? I don't get it
I thought it looks like it should
Verify it's the correct MAF (not just the housing, remove the sensor and verify THAT is correct). I don't think your trims are due to a leak.
Like I wrote before. I bought 2 factory new maf's for my car. I checked Maf number in AUDI ETKA part system with my VIN number. System shows that my car OEM MAF NUMBER is: 06A 906 461 D and this is the number that was on maf that I removed from my car. I bought a new bosh MAF with number 0 280 218 032 so this is the same part that should be in my car.
I bought it new and sealed and put in my car. I didn't open it to check sensor number but since it is a new product the sensor must be correct. To be 100% sure I will open maf tomorror and write you sensor number that is inside.
I was wondering if the file requires larger injectors
is it possible to check this option? I mean can I or someone from forum check my ecu file if it is stock or not?
Or maybe I can do some logs that will show if this isn't ecu for my stock 320 injectors ?
I'd bet thats a tuned file, that surging is classic for poor tune. I say leave everything the way it is and flash a known stock
file.
Like I said surge was there bacause of old and damaged OEM DV, after I replace dv surge was gone.
I don't have any other stock 180 hp TT ecu then mine on the car :/
I also wonder if it has a 225 maf in a regular housing?
not possible since I bought a factory new maf for my car
Just looked again at the vid of him testing the injectors. Those look like 225 injectors with the long stem!
He has the 180hp model so it makes sense for the trims in the negative if the maps weren't changed for the bigger injectors.
time to check part numbers on some injectors..
I have stock ajq injectors. In fact I even had all 4 in hands to check resistance.
Part number from my injectors:
06a 906 031s
I also tried to do o2 sensor tests from this link I got in this topic.
I could only start the test procedure from block 030.
and then I couldn't continue cause I don't have needed blocks.
blocks like 034 , 036, 037, 043 and so on are not working on my system :/
Tomorrow I will also check 'hockey puck' valve - I will simply swap it to other one from TT with good trims values.
And LAST BUT NOT LEAST
many or you are also looking on my dyno graph here to get some ideas of my problem cause.
Like I said this is an old graph from days when I bought the car. I just add it to show that car was stock duo to showing car's hp on graph.
If it can help to look into my car and my car's ecu I'm adding my current graph.
This is the same car, with the same ecu + a few of mods I mentioned before:
forge TIP, forge 007 dv with cold side relo mod, FMIC with garrett core and forge valves, blueflame Catback exhaust, amsoil air filter
now you are free to comment my graph as much as you like
