Posted December 3, 200717 yr My Gti is still holding back at about 2500 revs, done leads plugs and fuel filter, Someone told me the breather gets glogged up with muck, and needs cleaning . can anyone confirm this and is it easy to do.
December 3, 200717 yr Fidley but straight forward unlikely to be your cause though ,might be your MAF sensor especially if you have an induction kit fitted
December 4, 200717 yr Author Thanks for your reply, i dont have an induction kit the engine is totaly standard
December 4, 200717 yr Thanks for your reply, i dont have an induction kit the engine is totaly standard I personally would book it in to a tuning centre as they run diagnostics and will identify your problem straight away,this way there is no guesswork at all ,good luck
December 5, 200717 yr try unpluggin the MAF and going for a run,if its the same the MAF is ok,if its better the MAF is dead get a new one (scrappy?) If the MAF turns out to be ok then its prob time to get it diagnosed on a computer

(Im an apprentice, so go easy if im wrong ) Its in the air flow pipe, from the air filter into the inlet, there should be a connector thingy there, just unplug it. I think/hope im right there HTH
