Blinky16v 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Hello again, Anyone changed one of these? I have a 16v C 9A engine type with the Bosch MAF. Looks stright forward enough to change but if any knows of any trip me ups I'd sure appreciate knowing about them.. Thanks in advance Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Sorry to disappoint but 16v never came with MAF's only VR6's do you mean the metering head where all the fuel lines come out of ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blinky16v 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Hi Alex, Seriously? Geeee's VW dealers are pants! It must be the metering head then bud, it sits on top of the air filter lid and does have fuel lines running out of it. It seems easy enough to change... but a chimp with a spanner is more competant a mechanic them me... :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted September 20, 2004 lol yes its easy to change basically unbolt everything and then put back together but why do u need to change it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blinky16v 0 Posted September 20, 2004 Thats good news... cheers for the quick responce. Problem is that the car does not idle, has a very bad flat spot when you floor it, seems to run a tad rich (popping when you decelerate) and when it does decide to idle it sits at 900 rpm then jumps to 1100 rpm then dies... There are no vacuum leaks, I am on my 3rd ECU, 2nd ISV, new dizzy, plugs and leads.. the list goes on but I took the car to Bosch and the system showed this unit as having a problem, so out it comes. Had the problem for a year now and just want it sorted or I am gonna have to sell it and I am reluctant to do that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted September 20, 2004 mate have u checked the vacum hoses at the bottom and on the induction pipe ??? its also common for them to come lose or have a leak causing these problems Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blinky16v 0 Posted September 21, 2004 Cheers Alex, Forgive my ignorance here but these pipes are located at the bottom of the air filter housing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted September 21, 2004 at the back of the air box and under the plastic tubing that goes to the throtle body last guy that had the same sort of problems as u mentiong found out there was a sensor disconnected back there and the car run fine after that Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blinky16v 0 Posted September 21, 2004 I'll take a look tonight m8, I did have a good spray of Carb Cleaner down that neckof the woods when the car was idling a while ago and there was no difference in engine revs... No harm having another look mind you, cheers for the info bud. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
