UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well, where should I start! The car is a '01 Polo Estate 1.9 S TDI. Ever since I've had the car the performance has not been up to TDI spec. The acceleration is lacklustre, the car has been checked with VAG-COM and the opinion was that the turbo was doing as requested, but the Maf was probably not. ...

I've been looking through the Etka (03) to try and find the right part number for the Maf on an 01 1.9Tdi estate. Anybody point me in the right direction, and remind me what maf is short for. Thanks

Just like to say a big thank you to Sadgeek (Fraser), for putting himself out, and meeting me today and running some tests on my car. Thanks for all your help Fraser, not had a chance to check the filter yet, will let you know.

Just a quick update, total cost £52 for key and coding

Well at the moment the car is back to normal, but if you could do that sadgeek it would be great. Is it possible that the turbo just stuck and once cooled, works normal again Or maybe it is on its way out, and whats MAF short for?

Yep ! £40 for key from factory, and £20 + to code it to the immobliser

Thanks for the replies guys, think I'm gonna start lookin for some wheels

Any recommendation on alloy and tyre sizes, its currently got 185/60/14 on made by someone called "deborah" or some similar name I've never heard of.

Thats what I said to them, but they muttered something about different franchises etc. Anyone got any contact details for VW UK?

Thanks for the reply polo2k, I rang them today and gave them the vin no. Will cost about £60-70 including the key coding
