Amber_Nunny Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 ...the problems don't seem to end for Henry - I think he hates me.Lost 4 out of the 6 bolts from the inner cv joint on the passenger side on the way back from work today plus I'm somehow using **** loads of fuel - new MAF sensor I think :\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue bulldog Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 I remember sitting in this car when Ben had it. Absolutely amazing what you have done with it. Never thought it could be possible but you did it and did it well. Once you have all the little problems sorted you will basically have a new car.

Don't give upThanks very much That was actually really nice and has made me feel a bit more hopeful!So yesterday Henry got some new bolts And I got an MAF sensor out of the boyfriends dads Arosa TDI.Its only been one day but I think it might of resolved the fuel issue! Fingers crossed that nothing else goes wrong now... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and mention that I don't think I'm getting the awesome economy I did last time I nicked the TDI. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I went to work and back (roughly 60 miles) and used 1/4 of a tank - that's worse than I get driving my sport! If its not the MAF sensor, anyone got any other ideas what it could be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Is it boosting properly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 It's boosting as badly as a 1.4tdi does before a re-map, there's no black smoke and no leaks from the boost pipes or intercooler if that's what your asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber_Nunny Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Indeedy, had to buy a new bumper before it got sprayed the canica blue.There was a little dent on the corner which was filled exactly where they've hit my bumper so the fillers cracked and fell out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTIChris Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Bummer that, feel for you.Not one effing road gritted in Nuneaton ! Does your sprayer have any paint left from the respray ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amber_Nunny Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Bummer that, feel for you.Not one effing road gritted in Nuneaton ! Does your sprayer have any paint left from the respray ?Nuneaton roads were so bad but it was actually in the middle of Coventry on the way home from work.I've got a bit left that he gave me, hopefully it'll be enough to do the bumper I text the woman who hit into me saying I'll let her know the damage and how much I think it'll cost and she text me back saying yeah she'll let me know the damage on her car too?!? I'm pretty damn sure she hit into the back of me... Crazy woman! Edited January 19, 2013 by Amber_Nunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber_Nunny Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Gave the woman who crashed into me a really reasonable price due to friends being able to do the work and she's being an arse about it and wants 'her mechanic' to look at it.I don't fancy some dodgy backstreet garage doing the work, I'd obviously rather have the guy who resprayed the whole car to do it Edited January 19, 2013 by Amber_Nunny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
