    Got My 850 T5!

    hey everyone, got my T5 yesterday!

    Wow its quick!!!!

    at the mo i have some slight problems, one the boost gauge doesnt work? I think the turbo is working cause the car feels like a racing car!

    and the MAF sensor has gone (the old owner drop it on the floor apprantly) i have unpluged this and the car is perforuming ok.

    and tips ect welcome!

    If you've unplugged it is it still running ok?, no warning lights?. You'll need to get it replaced as it wont be running like it should without it, it will probably be running rich too(although I may be corrected). Glad your enjoying it!!!

    I think a brand new MAF from a dealer will set you back around £120, you can usually pick one up from a breakers for about £50-£60

    Whip the top of the dash off and see if the pipes still plugged into the back of the clocks. Do a search and I'm sure you'll find instructions telling you how to get the dash top off, also check the vacuum connections just in front of the throttle cover. Make sure they're all still connected and there are no splits/breaks
