    Well I have just been and bought a New Bosch MAF sensor and put it on, on the way back on the motor way I managed to get this log before the computer died. I could not start at 2,000 revs as I was on the motorway but it gives you an idea of the improvement but still not quite there, highest...

    Hi Badger, thanks for your time again. This morning I programmed the Heating unit to code 51 and watch both temp readings and they appear to be spot on, the heating unit reading was slightly behind the dash unit but I believe this is normal. Once they both got to 90c they stayed there even if...
