Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
It looks as if the problem is with the ECU, so in the words of the mechanic, he is going to ' build it back up, run a couple of other tests and then send the ECU off to a company he uses for testing and fixing if required'. Has anybody else had to go down this route?

Re: A wee tune from Inverness
It was a link to the Help for Heroes poppy appeal launch in Inverness. It was brilliant! Think you should pop the link back up..... I would but I couldn't find it.

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
I changed the fuel filter on my V6 a while back & was amazed at the amount of crud that came out of it. It's a very easy to overlook changing it due to its inaccessibility. http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=58460&hilit=+fuel+filter Yep. I think it is a little bi...

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
Yes once the fault is gone the code will clear. The codes that you quoted a couple of posts above - are they still showing or have all codes gone now? I don't think all of the codes above were showing (I just flagged them on here because they were all similar). The one the mechanic quoted to me app...

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
You won't always get that woosh, it depends on how long its been driven since the tank pressure was purged. If you don't know when the filters were changed then I would do those anyway, I would also check that the spark plugs were properly gapped. It won't run right while you have those codes becau...

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
I have also noticed of late that I don't get that 'woosh' when I unscrew the filler cap. I have checked the gauze filter on the cap and all appears fine. With the value of hindsight I think the problem may have shown itself since the last service in June, and steadily got worse. I wonder if it could...

Re: 1,110 mile round trip for wine
Exactly. It's partly tax and partly greed on the part of the supermarkets I think. The Bordeaux I got was marked up at €1.79 a bottle but the checkout operative failed to spot some of the cases in the trolley. Which I only noticed after I inspected the receipt in England :^o :D Don't worry I'm sure...

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
Looking in the service manual code 0120 is for throtle sensor signal system. Code 0100 is the airflow signal system and code 0110 is the air intake sensor signal system. I'm confused!! I wonder if it is the throtle sensor we should be looking at?
Any thoughts appreciated.
Cheers
David.

Re: Alternative Names for Common Parts
I have another name for the MAF sensor...... I heard our mechanic using it under his breath, but i can't repeat it.

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
Thanks.
I will suggest checking TPS setting. The rpm is very slow to lift, and I think the idle speed is less than it was (but not enough to cut out). The revs take a long time to build up when in drive, but they still appear to pick up OK when in neutral.

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
Thanks for the replies. We are getting to the stage that any ideas are worth considering, even if they appear unrelated. The van has just been all the way to France and back (having thought the MAF sensor problem was fixed) but with hindsight the van was not running as well as we could normally expe...

Re: Air Flow Sensor, 2L petrol.
Well just had a chat with our mechanic..... not good news. Brakes etc all fine, not binding etc, so no easy fix there. Mechanic took it for a run and very quickly realized there was still a problem with the engine management side of things. The air flow sensor has been replaced, (and this cured a 's...

Re: 1,110 mile round trip for wine
Great pictures Paul. We are just back from a week around Fontainbleau in the bongo. I couldn't believe how nice the Bordeaux was even at less than 2 Euros per bottle. Couple it up with a fresh baguette, some cheese and sausison sec...... mmmmmm. Makes you wonder what our 'supermarkets' pay per bottl...
