hi all,

had a search and can't really find a definitive answer. In the past few weeks I have noticed my 110k 55 fabia vrs has been quite a bit more smoky when putting the foot down in all gears. I had it mapped back in the summer and she is now running 208bhp and all seems well.

Coming home this eve I noticed that in 2nd and 3rd it seems to have a minor flat spot when fully planted until i come off the throttle a touch then she seems to almost come back to life so to speak.

The mpg has dropped a touch but I have put this down to the cooler temps. The smoke used to fade away as the crud from driving conservatively cleared but now its constant. I really dont believe there to be a boost leak as the is no rushing noise like when I had one before.

All is totally fine until like I say I give it the beans. Any ideas peeps, is this the MAF finally saying enough's enough?

208bhp on a remap alone?

Anyway, If it is the maf have you tried using some dielectric silicon compound to the connections on the maf? I read somewhere that petroleum jelly does a similar job (if you happen to have that lying around...).

Sorry i have put in a hybrid pd150 turbo and bigger intercooler. Was a bit late last night

Just bumping this back to the top as really could do with an answer

Have you tried the suggested if you think it's a maf issue?

Worked a treat. Many thanks top chap
