Hi,
I have a Rapid 2014 1,6 TDI @89000km that I bought a year ago.
First year it was running great but couple of days ago It started to behave not normal
Was driving back from work on the high way, when after 10min Glow plug light started to flash. I stopped on the nearest exit and shut down the car. I started the car
and glow plug was not flashing anymore. Well great I thought maybe it was a hick up
Then just when I was about to exit the high way again ( 10 min later) to pull over to my place it started flashing again. And same thing when o drove into my garage and shut down the car and turned it on again the plug light was not flashing any more.
Next day I went to work same thing exited the high way to work and baaam glow plug light flashing and check engine and stop/start error. Well time to check it out at nearest mech.
Error codes
P010100 - Mass Air Flow - Implausible Signal
P227900 - Intake air system leak
P15A100 - Neutral gear sensor implausible signal
This weekend I started to work on my car.
Removed and cleaned the MAF, checked for cracks and leaks on the tube from intake ->MAF->Turbo could no see any leaks or cracks.
The neutral sensor I guess its bad due to start/stop error needs to change only 20 euros though
So I took the car to my father in law he got a ODB2 reader we cleared all the codes to see if the cleaning of the MAF did the work.. Yeee after 30min driving on the high way all good until I exit the high way and glow plug light started to flash again. Hmmm why did it start to flash as soon I started to brake? This happened every time.. I drive 100km/h start to exit the highway, brake and glow plug light starts to flash.
Could P0101 and P2279 be trigged for a other reason? both of them seems to be tied together in some way
The car runs great it's now -10C here where I live, and the car starts every time on first try.
Bad break light switch?
Bad MAF?
Cracks or leak that needs to be checked again with pressure/smoke?
