Right, had my 60,000 mile service done yesterday and whilst the car was in I asked them to have a look at the slightly erratic idle. They came to the conclusion that it needs a new Mass Air Meter and a Pipe replacing. Can't afford to pay the labour so was gonna have a go at doing the work myself :eek: , but had a couple of queries first:

1. Is the Mass Air Meter the same part as the MAF which people have talked about a lot on the forum?

2. Does anybody have any idea which pipe it is they are talking about which also needs replacing and where the pipe is located? (think I've read somewhere about an induction pipe going soft but don't know which this is)

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

MAF is the Mass Aif Flow sensor so yes your correct on this.

i would assume that if they have diagnosed the MAF the pipe they talk about is more than likely the turbo inlet pipe. you could look at replacing this with a Forge TIP (£100).

other than that ask the dealer which pipe they are talking about.

Thanks for that I will give them a bell.
