Nice diag and repair, Thomas. I blew an engine on a road test in a customers car many years ago and it caught fire to boot. A passer bye had a fire extinguisher in their trunk and took care of the fire. A lesson well learned. Insurance paid for half. My ass was sore for quite a while from the reaming I took from the boss.

[@EXOVCDS]

+wysetech2000 I blew an ALH TDI engine back in 2010... it ingested pcv oil that was collecting in the intercooler. It was gonna happen to the customer if not me... customer agreed it was better to have happened on my test drive. I don't push old cars too hard anymore.

[@stuzman52]

Nice thought process on correlating the fuel trim with the MAF reading. As always Thomas nice diagnosis and repair.

[@EXOVCDS]

+stuzman52 I should have probably included the smoke checking that I did and some voltage tests at the connector... but we've seen this on so many, that a MAF is a given.

[@stuzman52]

You did fine Thomas and I wouldn't worry about not showing the smoke test and the voltage readings. As you've said, there's a lot of that stuff out there. Have a good day!

[@Blazestalker100]

U r good at using this software. I have the same code for 2 years and dont know how to fix it. First time it was evap fault, n80 and recirc valve. But now a year later it came back

[@EXOVCDS]

Check for vacuum leaks (before & after throttle body). If your code is lean at "part throttle", look for the leak after the MAF and before the throttle body. Smoke checking is the best way to find leaks.

[@wyattoneable]

Very interesting Thomas. I received your stickers today and one is on my tool box already. Thanks so much!

[@EXOVCDS]

+wyattoneable Glad you got them!

[@IvanIvanov-oq7wn]

Include more VCDS in the videos.Very helpful.

[@EXOVCDS]

I failed to mention (in the video) that the first thing I did was smoke test the intake system "before" & "after" the throttle body (before going on a test drive)... to check for any air leaks that could affect the MAF. No leaks were found. Power & grounds at the MAF should have probably been done... but if "THAT" had been an issue, then the NEW MAF would also behave the same way as the "bad" MAF.

[@EXOVCDS]

I misspoke about EVAP at the beginning... mainly a relearn issue going on at that time.

[@guayaco-dm3vu]

Good one Thomas... I did always wonder what ross-tech meant when diagnosing fuel trims and maf fault data block..I'm used to Lincolns lol Don't work on enough vw's to know the measuring blocks .. Now i know what to look for

[@EXOVCDS]

Short term fuel trim 001 and long term fuel trim (learned) 032... those are my go-to blocks to see if there are vacuum / air leaks / potential MAF issues.

[@baxrok2.]

Slick, very slick indeed. Nice work Sir.

[@SteveRobReviews]

I've noticed that on a Silverado , looking for it to go rich on a wot and then it goes OL , I have yet seen SD have that happen, at least I can't remember.

[@EXOVCDS]

+STEVE ROB The short term (if that is what you were referring to) was still relearning during my short test drive.... given more time, it would have settled down nicely. Pushing these old cars hard is scary... so I don't do it unless needed. We had someone complain ( an ignition coil hit the bucket during a test drive of mine) they said they are not paying for it, as it was ok when they dropped the car off. We had a used coil , so we put that in... was a used coil that failed, so that was fine with me. :)

[@andreiandy2400]

Nice work Thomas...you're the best at fixing VW cars...i have a question...i own a vw polo from 2001 with 1.4 mpi engine..in the morning and during the day(usually after the car sits for more than 5 hours) when i start the engine and let it idle it works fine, starts right up...but when i start to drive it feels like the engine wants to die..if i immediately press the clutch and give it some gas the car works ok again..what can the problem be regarding the fact that it only does this when it's cold.. I have no DTC's...maybe sometimes a B1 S2 error(after catalyst)..but nothing else...thanks a lot

[@EXOVCDS]

[@jerrycaille]

Hello, can you tell me what is the angle of the throttle body at idle ? Mine was not right, I pushed down while under tension and made it worse, then pushed it back up a bit and now it's ok (0.78...% with no gaz apply) I saw yours at about 3.1% ?

[@EXOVCDS]

Year, make, model, engine?

[@jerrycaille]

2001 or 2002, Seat Leon 1M 1.8T AUQ

[@EXOVCDS]

The ecm performs basic setting of throttle every time the ignition is cycled on or off. If there is a fault, the ecm will set a fault code. No fault code, everything is ok. The throttle will be slightly open when ignition is on. Throttle pedal value should be 0 when not pressed.

[@jerrycaille]

@@EXOVCDS I have a 4.7% value of the pedal sensor with contact and without turning on the engine. I've try to turn the sensor on the pedal but it stay at 4.7% (btw it say 4.7 but it's more like -4.7 because when I press slowly, I slowly go back to zéro before going up 0.78-1.5-1.8%), by messing with the throttle body I eliminated the problem but I don't even know how. Before, like in roundabout, with little gaz, the engine cuted the power at very low charge.

[@vwivancc]

Hello Thomas. Thanks for the video. One question: I have installed in my PC VCDS 11.11 How Could I show the window with the different tests? For example. Gas recirculation, evap, lambdas. etc. Thanks.

[@EXOVCDS]

+vwivancc VW & Audi don't provide all the specific locations of data groups or values for checking specific items. Ross-Tech does a good job at finding the information and labeling it when they have the info. You just go through data blocks 000 to 255 and see what you can find in your car. Some fields will have no data, some will, some data will be labeled, some won't. Do the same thing when going through "basic settings or adaptations"... some vehicles will have drop-down menus where you can choose from a list of items, others, you will have to enter the data group number that you used when viewing regular measuring blocks. forums.ross-tech.com/ is the best place to find / get information. I use VCDS every day, but I am not an expert / power used, as I just need to use the basics. If you need to run "readiness" (to check all the monitors)... VCDS usually provides a step by step procedure. Click on readiness and then click set readiness and follow the instructions.

[@vwivancc]

***** Hi Thomas, Thanks for the answer. Regards from Mexico.

[@chadsweigart100]

I have a question. I have an 01' Passat 1.8T that idles perfect but has no power when trying to accelerate. No vacuum leaks and the tubo is brand new. I do get a PO171 lean bank 1 code and the short term fuel trims shows it's running lean. I'm thinking MAF sensor but not sure what else to look at before I replace it. Any ideas?

[@EXOVCDS]

If the MAF is at fault (faulty input to the ECM), disconnecting the sensor will cause the ECM to run with a substituted value... if it runs better, it could be a bad maf. Checking the PCV system / one way check valve and EVAP system is also a good idea.

[@cand5643]

Hey Thomas Great video! I have a question. I own a vw passat 1.8 2002, and have the same error code (17536). Now the problem is that I cant push down the throttle too much without getting stops from the engine it feels like the engine is getting hickupps and i cant go faster so I have to shift up/down or loose the throttle. I showed the car to a mechanic and he didnt know for certain what the problem was. Do you think you might know which part of the engine is not working correctly?

[@EXOVCDS]

Hiccups could be misfires... you need to check fuel system & ignition system. Use a scan tool to check sensor info: MAF, Boost, STFT & LTFT etc (like in this video) Description of 17536: wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/17536/P1128/004392

Thank you very much! Sorry this one is not as technical / in-depth as it probably should be.

[@jamesbrooks3759]

I have a 010 Passat 1.8, since the mechanic put new coils in it. I have a code that says its running lean on no1 cyl, could it be the cause or something else.

[@EXOVCDS]

Not sure.... lean at idle, lean while cruising? What's the exact code?

[@pauliekruger7639]

Hey Thomas, I see the MAF harness is the same as I have. This is the one that has a black wire cut and the MAF sensor itself has a green plug blocking the hole or terminal that the black wire would go to. I assume its just not needed on this model?

[@EXOVCDS]

I can send you PIN designation for your MAF after I get home from work later tonight.

[@EXOVCDS]

1 to 5 (5 is at the flat side of the connector) 1 - not used 2 - Ignition voltage / battery power 3 - ECM ground 4 - ECM 5v power 5 - MAF signal wire, 1 to 4.5v depending on load / air flow (example 1v at idle to 4.5v at full load)

[@pauliekruger7639]

Thank You @@EXOVCDS, I have to replace my MAF to move forward as I believe its the majority of my overall troubles. The devil is in the details. Term 1 was blocked and the black wire cut. Term 2 I thought was my ground as I did an ohm to the negative on the battery. Term 3 is where I had .2v Term 4 is where I saw that 5v. Term 5 was where I saw .7v. The cam position sensor fault code has me worried, I thought it was from all the misfires. After I change the MAF I will see how this behaves. It looks like a difficult and expensive replacement. If the timing is correct, as it runs properly then it's just the sensor gone bad? Again thanks for the extra miles you have taken me.

[@EXOVCDS]

@@pauliekruger7639 1 is not used.... the black wire you see might be a shield wire for the signal. Don't attach anything to pin 1. A green plug is factory weather seal.

[@shadix232]

Hey I got a b5.5 1.8t passat wagon and my car seems to keep throwing the same p0171 code. For some reason when I clear the code I'm boosting at 4 psi tops and then when the code comes back it throws me into limp mode which shows I'm boosting at 0 to 1 psi. Now I am tuned as well so I'm suppose to be around 15 to 20 psi but Idk what's happening. Do you know why I'm getting the code and also boosting low? Do you think the boost problem can also be the same issue for the code?

[@EXOVCDS]

Could be related, yes. Do you still have stock PCV components? Check the pcv check-valve under the intake manifold. Smoke check the intake for any leaks. Make sure that the diverter valve closes correctly under boost.

[@rhkips]

I take it it's the same planar MAF design VW has used since forever? The kind that all but detonate if you try to clean 'em? (Don't ask me how I know that...)

[@EXOVCDS]

+rhkips I have only had one that made a difference after cleaning (brake clean or MAF cleaner)... the rest would all stay the same.

[@rhkips]

***** The design of MAF that VW uses doesn't "fail" due to contamination like the hot wire style MAFs. In fact, I've noticed VW's design is much more robust! :)

[@Rawhzi]

I have a 05 Audi A4 2.0t Quattro and the p2096 code came on I do have a testpipe with de fooler and at the end of the pipe is cut and has maybe a forearm length gap from there to the straight pipe exhaust is that the cause? Do u think by redoing my exhaust that will fix It?

+Persojet Idle was +/- 2% Part throttle was +24% (I have to check the saved file on Monday to be sure... I'm at home now). After the MAF was replaced idle & part throttle were +/-1% after a 10 min drive. Before replacing MAF, but after clearing codes, part throttle would climb to +14% during a 5min drive. I'll do better data logging / selection the next chance I get!

[@Persojet]

+Thomas EXOVCDS Was just wondering because my car shows -10 % on idle long term and +24 on part throttle long term. Have to give a try with new MAF.

Thomas B7 A4 2.0T. I have a system too lean OFF idle code. Cars boost fine but after 1 or 2 hour drive i get the code and throws me into limp mode. After i clear it car runs fine again. I'm thinking is a bad MAF what you think? Chaged pcv and N80 coils and plugs.

@@S4_QUATTROPOWER Monitor fuel trim values... disconnect the PCV hose at the manifold and plug the opening at the manifold. If things change, then the extra air is coming in from the / through the PCV (possibly rear main seal). Cold rough running can be due to carbon buildup... or it's running rough until the ECM has "adjusted / compensated" for the lean issue. Make sure that the electric fuel pump (in the tank) duty cycle is not more than 60% (should be around 45 to 50%). Anything higher at idle can indicate a bad pump. It's a good idea to check the high pressure fuel pump "cam follower" as well.

[@EXOVCDS]

Using a scan tool (VCDS) I always check "fuel trim values"... to see if the engine is lean at idle or at part throttle. If lean at idle, I look for a vacuum leak. If lean at part throttle, could be a fuel pump issue, air leak after the maf. Some other possible causes: wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/16555/P0171/000369

[@logmegadeth72]

Hey Thomas, I have a '04 A4 1.8T with similar symptoms, P0171 code. Block 032 shows near zero additive trim (-1.5%) and high partial trim (+20~%). I've checked the MAF readings, they are in spec (0.8*crank HP). Looked for any leaks that might result in false air. I've also checked the fuel pressures at idle and under load, also in spec. Replaced the front O2 as well. Going crazy trying to find the cause for this code, any suggestions?

[@EXOVCDS]

Can you narrow down if the +20% is during low boost or higher boost demands? Is the ECM tuned / chipped? Exhaust? My first suggestion would have been MAF... could still be. It could be find under heavy load, but be off at cruising / moderate load. Watch short term closely while driving, right after clearing codes to see when exactly it is adding 20%+.

[@logmegadeth72]

@@EXOVCDS It seems like it's during low boost demands/cruising. I've watched the LTFT slowly creep up on my way to work. So intake will be under vacuum most of the time (maybe there is unmetered air getting in somewhere). The ECU is tuned, APR Stage 1+ w/ TT225 injectors. 034 High Flow Cat as well. I've checked the MAF a few times, it always gives a max of 160g/s after a pull to redline in 3rd. Which is slightly low according to APR spec of 235 crank hp (235*0.8=188). But I have records of previous logs before this lean issue that showed similar results.

[@EXOVCDS]

Whenever a tuned ECM is involved, I always recommend going to have it checked by the tuner / dyno run. When you are checking MAF at full pull, it just loads at full pull... cruising MAF readings could still be offset (unless there is an air leak that's getting in... would have to be after maf but before throttle).

[@logmegadeth72]

@@EXOVCDS Yeah, I tried emailing APR directly. Haven't heard back from them. I'll have to double check for air leaks.

[@logmegadeth72]

@@EXOVCDS It's hard to say exactly. I've cleared the codes and watched the short trim add fuel (around +7-8%) during low boost demands. This morning I cleared trims after finding a pcv hose that was torn and temporarily repaired. So I was mostly in low boost/cruising and the LTFT was in the +15% range once I got to work which is a 20 minute drive.

[@wyskun]

1.8t 150hp. My maf on 002 block is ok (around 120-125 g/s). But on 032 block, is -0.9% and 21.9%. No leaks. Is it possible, that maf is bad even when on 002 block is ok?

+Thomas EXOVCDS fuel filter is new, on fuel injector rail the pressure is around 60 psi. maybe evap? I hear clicking noise overthere but dont know is it work fine

[@EXOVCDS]

wyskun Could be MAF then... they can read ok at one rpm range and be out at another.

[@EXOVCDS]

Just had another thought... what gasoline are you using. E85 / gas with a lot of ethanol can cause lean running codes (but should also affect idle). Strange that the maf shows good g/s under load.

[@EXOVCDS]

+Igor OREGON Yes... same thing, just the orientation is different and some of the mounting components / part design, overall... the same thing.

[@jb6574]

could a lean condition underload also be caused by misfires..I replaced my maf and my fuel pressure is steady but car still runs on the lean side under load

[@EXOVCDS]

A lean fuel mixture can / will cause misfires under load... yes. Misfires will cause the O2 to see a lean mixture (unburnt fuel & air). Year, make, model, engine? How are you checking fuel mixture / determining that the engine is running lean?

[@jb6574]

Thomas EXOVCDS 2010 Mazda 3. already checked for vacuum leaks and didn't find any also car idles fine with long term staying round zero. I'm observing long term fuel trims through a access port that has live data capability. I'm thinking it might be ignition related..am I wrong to think that? Thinking that it might be plugs or coils..haven't had time to pull the plugs to look at them yet though

[@EXOVCDS]

Misfires are the cause of something being out of spec (fuel trim or ignition components). If the engine only misfires under moderate to heavy load... check if the rear O2 sensor shows a RICH signal when at wide open throttle (3rd gear floor it). If the rear O2 stays below 0.5mV, then the engine is running lean and that is causing misfires. Also try to get to WOT at a gradual pace (traffic / road conditions permitting)... if you can get to WOT without misfires and the rear O2 goes rich (0.8mV), then there is NO fueling issue. If you suspect ignition components, replace the spark plugs & coils / plug wires.

[@jb6574]

Thomas EXOVCDS so if I hit wot and rear o2 read rich than most likely ignition is my issue?

[@EXOVCDS]

Yes... at least that is what I would do / check. No need to "redline" the rpm to the rev limiter!!! Do not over rev the engine / blow it up!!! Play at own risk!!! =)

+kfrdubber We don't keep a lot of stock in house... so while I wait, I work on different cars. Deliveries (depending on the company we ordered from) get shipped every 1 & 1/2 to 2 & 1/2 hrs. Or 3 runs to 6 runs per day. We have 3 main suppliers... so that usually gives us a wait time of 1 hr depending on when the part was ordered.

What model number ridgid drill is that?

[@EXOVCDS]

+Friebe1000 Drill & flashlight combo kit: www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-Reconditioned-12-Volt-3-8-in-Cordless-2-Speed-Drill-and-Flashlight-Combo-Kit-ZRR92009/204612162? I no longer use the flashlights... they no longer work and because I use a head lamp now.

What about cleaning the maf?

[@EXOVCDS]

Bill Rimmer I have never had any success cleaning these MAF's... the old hot-wire styles yes.

Good Work!! I'm now forced to watch your videos since....

[@valmiera9]

someone has upgraded ignition coils for this engine.

[@EXOVCDS]

valmiera9 Yes, there are. Heat eventually also gets to those.

@@EXOVCDSAnything lead to you ordering a new Maf vs the oh let's just clean it mantra?

[@EXOVCDS]

@@emotionalintelligence776 The only MAF cleaning that I have / had success with, is / was hot-wire MAF's that VW used to use back in the day. The current MAF's (no matter how much spraying I do) I can't get clean / improvement. The MAF's that people clean with q-tips are of a different design. All I know is that the car was fixed.

Is the 80s maf reading specific to this engine or what you'd be looking for in general to get a pass, thanks

[@EXOVCDS]

+Typey1 A rough number is to take your engine horse power and multiply it by .8 , Again... I did not push the rpm / load too much. My after readings could have been higher if I did. wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Fuel_Trim_Info
