    Hello Lads

    The Engine Light Came on, so i connected it to VAGCOM. Now it says somin about the MAF. i just replaced it couple of months ago. could it be somin else causing this and will audi take it back as its gone wrong so soon.

    the other problem comin up is the brakes, but i dont find any problems with it when driving.

    i havent had the coilpacks changed.

    Please Help

    First of all mate... I had the same ABS error after jet washing the wheel arches...

    First of all i would clear the codes, to remove the light and get some miles done.. if the light comes back on re-investigate.

    Since i bought the MAF from audi and it was flagging up as an error. i booked it in for them to look at it. prior to which i had already cleared the code. i dropped it in the Morning and they called me back 3hrs later saying that they could not find any faults stored on the ecu and everything seemed fine on a road test.

    so went to pick the car up from docklands audi where they had valeted the car as part of their service and had a bill for £75. i told them i wouldnt pay coz i had the vagcom printout to show them that it was definetely the MAf which was at fault. so the guy at dockland audi didnt charge me a penny for the Valeting and insisted i bring the car with the Engine Management light on so they could diagnose it proper.

    GOOD SERVICE AT THE END. IT PAYS TO BUY PART FROM DEALER

    Sorry I can't help on this, assuming you have a A4 B6, where did you get the OBDII cable for VAGCOM? I bought a USB one from eBay and it won't fit in the OBDII port on my car
