  3. Ian1975 started following MAF trouble after decat
  4. Ian1975
    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

    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.

    Gave mine a bit of a clean up so thought I'd share a pic of how she's looking after a year in my hands. Think I've finished all the modifying and retrofitting for now so just enjoying the driving.

    When replacing injectors (use a little ceramic grease on the body of the injector) and check if ‘o’ ring if one fitted needs replaced, plus the seating or sealing washer is new, use new stretch bolts and torque to specification, then tighten union nuts to fuel rail. If a new injector it needs coded to the car.

    Front wheel arch liner needs to come off (usually Torx head screws), and depending on location, engine tray too. Parts made by Valeo. Good opportunity to clean out annyway. Easy enough to prep yourself as Audi will charge small fortune for colour coded one. Make a mask template with card, lightly key PDC sensor with 1500 grit sandpaper, wipe sensor with isopropyl alcohol. First coat of plastic primer, couple of top colour coats and followed by a couple of clear lacquer flash coats. Read you can cure paint by popping in oven for a few minutes (without the rubber ‘o’ ring, but think I’d miss that part out, and just don’t jet-wash directly for a few weeks.

    Haven't installed them. Today I removed pretty much everything on the right side of the engine. Tomorrow im installing new water pump and injectors. Also cleaning throttle body... I'll report back.
  34. spartacus 68
    Your local Audi dealer knows how to charge, I’ll say that. Some of those prices are frankly ridiculous. Most of it is wear and tear. The thing to remember is the S4 is a performance car and owning one will come with increased costs. There will be a reason the previous owner had a year, and to coin a phrase ‘wants to get out of Dodge!’ Go into it with your eyes open, or increase your budget and look for something a little younger with full service history. A trusted independent garage that are VAG knowledgeable should be able to reduce some of those costs on labour.

    Glad you got sorted 🙂
  41. Steve Q
    That's interesting I hadn't heard that. But must be some truth in it as per your experience. So glad you got sorted 🙂
  42. Steve Q
    Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 The symptoms indicate the bag. But this is unlikely if it was replaced with a new good quality one. Id recommend a second diagnosis from an independent Audi specialist.
  43. Steve Q
    Could get the injectors tested for peace of mind. Could be the injector seals? Could ideally if cleaning the carbon build up. If you're replacing the water pump you may as well do the cambelt.
