Before this degenerates into full scale war I'd just like to add the following;

In this thread here (click me) you asked for advice on a recon turbo. You were given a few links but you never posted back with your findings so noone knew what, if anything, happened.

In this post here (click me) you asked for advice on making your car that little bit quicker because your turbo was on its way out. You got some good advice but again, you never posted back with your findings so again, noone knew what, if anything, happened.

Finally, in this current post you're asking for advice on replacing the MAF sensor. The FAQ in eshrules's signature, while not completely obvious (I'm sure he'll revise it to a more catchy title ) details common problems with the Golf and their solutions.

What he was trying to do was to help you by asking you to keep everything in one place. It looks as though you're still chasing the same problem but now anyone wanting to help you has to search for all your previous posts to get a picture of what is going on. Obviously if you're new to the forum (and to forums in general) your desire for help is understandable, noone wants a broken car.

Finally, with regards to your comments in post 3, eshrules's name is Carl (also in his signature), Carl is a man's name, so I'm not sure he's a "love".

Shall we get back to the problem in hand?

Perhaps you could update each of the above posts (in this post here) with what you found and then we can begin to piece together the car's fault history and any action you may (or may not) have taken so far.
