17545 P1137 035
Long term Fuel Trim
Add.Fuel.,Bank 1
System too Rich
sporadic DTC
I posted this before and most people here said that P1137 meant it was my MAF sensor. I don't know anything about these codes and I just wanted to make sure that is right. I'm planning on buying a new MAF on Friday and I really can't afford to waste $350 if it is something else. Thanks.

Re: What does this CEL code mean? (6CYLINDER)

Well, it could be a bad O2 sensor as well, or maybe you just have a clogged filter screen (it's in the snorkel going to the bumper, look for a screw going into the snorkle about 3 inches from the head lights.....if it's there, remove it, check it for debris, and clean it)
OR it could be a Filter if you have a aftermarket one....
If thats the case, remove the filter, and put the stock airbox back on.....and get the code cleared...

I'll try that tomorrow.

That is my problem. I bought the car used and it came with an ABD Big Bore Intake, so I don't have the stock airbox. I went to school with one of the mechanics at the dealer, so he hooked my car up to the VAG for free when no one was around. The dealer wants $136 just to diagnose it and then $418 for the MAF with installation.
If I can know for certain that it is the MAF, I'll just buy one Friday and install it myself. I'd hate to give the dealer $136 just to tell me that it is the MAF and then stil have to buy it.
