Hi , ive had the car picked up from the lake district and delivered but after it was collected the guy said it had a MAF problem but it was under warranty so hes sending me a new one to fit , the error codes does show the problem but my worry is that connected or disconnected the car feels like a 100bhp car and struggles up hill.
Can any one help me ?
what power loss problems wouldnt show up in fault codes? Turbo,ERG ect?
any help would be appriciated.
Mick
I saw this car advertised on the Facebook owners site when the owner originally listed it he said there were a problem with the turbo that he couldn’t sort and he was going to sell it cheap, after a couple of weeks the car was re advertised as saying the problem was the HP fuel pump and a new one was being fitted.
I think you’ve made a big error not driving the car before you parted with any cash, the guy has obviously thrown a lot of money at the car and looks like it’s still not sorted the original problem I think the MAF problem is a smokescreen and there are probably underlying issues, could be a money pit to solve or may be a quick fix but I reckon he’s hit a major fault and got shut.
You obviously bought the car in good faith believing it was running fine so you should have some recourse by saying not fit for purpose.
Let us know how you get on.
