Hi
I cannot find a cheap secondhand MAF and am reluctant to buy new unless I know it definately needs changing. Is there any test I can do to see if it is definately in need of replacement.
Symptons - loss of power (turbo feels like it isn't there so on hills only gets to 50mph but will drive at 90mph down hill) then it comes back once the car is restarted. The problem has got worse over time and now happens as soon as the engine is put under load and revved hard (such as climbing a steep hill)
Car - A4 TDi 1998.
Thanks, James
