My MAF is bad as I posted so my question is if I buy a BOV do I disconect the MAF or not. If i do have to disconect the MAF then will the CEL be on.
Is there any halp (info) how to disconnect the MAF
Btw im planing to chip in 2 weeks so does the BOV take care of my bad MAF and my platic DV ??

Call VW customer service and tell tehm about your MAF they will give to a # take it to your dealer and get a new one free, they no about the problem, just isnt bad enough to do a recall on all 1.8T engines yet, they did it for the 2.0.
I got mine done and check out all my mods, and out of warranty.
BOV's are great but after running 2 months with one, the cool factor wore off and now I like the better A/F ratios.

Whats the phone number for the costumer service and are they going to make the dealer change it for free since im out of the bumper to bumper warranty??

ask them to do it under a goodwill program.
if you dont know what the maf looks like or where it is, you shouldnt be playing with it or installing a bov.
youll just be back here in a few weeks complaining about something else that goes wronng
