Battery may have been dissed - problem started quite a while ago and was barely noticable at first, so not sure. Are you thinking I need to do ecu reset procedure? I've read this is just disconnect battery, leave for 2-10 minutes, reconnect & drive the car to let the ecu relearn settings, no downside to trying this? The battery was almost totally flat recently after sitting a while - RAC had to jump start it. Don't know if that qualifies as a reset. :) Or is there another reason for question about battery disconnect?

Looked in "VR6 Owners Must read" & maf link above - thanks for pointers. Tried driving car with MAF disconnected, it ran a bit worse without it (idle @ 1100 then down to 700). However, from MAF thread this doesn't prove conclusively that MAF's not at fault. Am considering still replacing it & have spoken to GSF re Sharon MAF @ £69 exc. I've put an entry in the VAG-COM thread to see is there anyone I can ask to checkout the DTC's first.

Anyone with vag-com close to Epping in Essex? I've got an 95 Storm with the 16 pin connector. It's got an idle & mis problem, :( (separate post 'vr6 misfire'). I'm considering replacing the MAF but would like to check the codes first.

Having read thru earlier posts, it seems there is a big selection of these sensors across the vw range. Prices seem to vary from £70-£300+. :roll: I was quoted that for the ABV engine code, 1995 model. I've looked up the GSF site - don't know if that part is equivalent. It says Corrado ADY which I think is the 2.0 engine.

95 Corrado VR6 Storm When car warms up after 10 mins get slight mis/hesition at about 60mph. Idle a bit rough. Problem worse in warm weather. Had mobile tech look at DTC, he got code for engine speed sensor. Replaced following over a period of time, fault still remains: Engine speed sensor Spark plugs Spark plug leads Lambda Probe Air Filter Air hose to inlet manifold (this had broken) After reading achives I'm wondering about possible MAF problem, dealer quotes £339 inc for new MAF. Am I right in saying that test of MAF is to let car warm up, disconnect MAF plug and take on a test drive to check for difference? Almost getting to the point of having the dealers look at it. :shock:
