Yes mate, I’m going to run the ori file in the morning and see if it solves the MAF but I can’t understand how the map would alter the MAF as it’s the first sensor along the chain

Fair enough, was just thinking because the cat had been removed. Was there a sensor in the cat?

I know how that feels. As I've been in the same boat.

Not that I know of mate, before I ran the mapped file, it was fine, it was 6 days before I ran the file

When modifying the exhaust has the lambda sensor been damaged etc?

Shut

Cut

The sensors come in a matt black plastic. I actually thing that sensor is painted. I could be wrong, but there looks like a corrosion on the surface. Check with Audi, I think it’s called platinum gray and finished in satin matt. Removing the wheel arch isn’t too big a deal. You need to twist the old sensor out and unhook the wiring anyway, so even tight access isn’t likely to work.

Still no update unfortunately, i am trying to find someone who can rebuild the engine for me in Hull area, so far not much luck.

It’s this one that needs replacing so looks like no paiint of I had smaller hands I’m sure I could get to it…..

Handy hints, thanks. I think I have at least one to replace myself and wasn't sure if I needed special paint so as not to damage functionality of the sensor.

I recently decided to fit a decat delete pipe and egr blanking kit, had them fitted and obviously the EML light can on and threw codes for egr, but the car ran fine no issues, I’d been busy and not put the mapped file on, until Friday evening, I went to a job Saturday morning and the car had lost the low end torque, you can hear the turbo. I checked with the diagnostic tool and it came up MAF fault, I’ve checked all pipes and connections, I’ve ordered another MAF sensor, incase it has gone bad, anyone had similar issue, I remap cars and never had this with customers cars. I’m going to run the ori file and see what happens to rule out either a fault with map or fault with MAF sensor

Edited to add. I will split if anyone wants the wheel or tyre separately.

The electrodes are exactly as they should be. The oil on the thread has run down from the plug body because a sloppy mechanic has spilt oil into the recess during topping up.

Hi mate, thanks for the reply please find the picture below. the car was cold I was just doing the spark plugs. The good thing is that it wasn’t in the actual pin so I reckon it’s not from the cylinder(?)also in the video it’s only on the 4th cylinder that it was “bad” so maybe the previous owner spilled the oil? I will monitor it anyway

Me neither, but as I mentioned, the chaps at CAT Automotive warned me this might happen, because the (very cheap) cam I fitted was possibly not made to work with a DPF - ie it may have varied in lift and dwell from the original. He reckoned that the DPW engine was so finicky that it was a poor choice to put a DPF on, although it was a great engine in most other respects... His predictions came true - hence my plan to return it to a stock cam. Mike 😎

A trace of oil may be present in an engine that has just started from cold. However it's not normal in an engine that is in good condition and has been run long enough to warm up. Some black hard soot or coke is usual around the end of the thread; while the contacts usually have a pale grey-brown powdery coating. Presumably you have oily plugs or you would not be asking about them, so tell us how much and where, or post a detailed picture.

Hi guys, first post and first service for my Audi s3! Is it normal to find oil in the spark plugs? any feedback welcome!
