Right - reading your other post, I'm sorry I missed this. Let's see what we can do... P1132 is the front lambda - if this is coming back after replacement, then there's something wrong with the sensor or the wiring to it. Worth investigating. P1172 is likely to be a vacuum leak - check the maf to turbo pipe. Have you tried running it with the MAF disconnected? does anything change?

Having listened to the symptoms and noting the DTC's I would say this is leaning more towards an O2 sensor fault. O2 sensors over time become lazy and take longer to switch. Therefore, on an emmisions test, it will fail because the air/ fuel ratio will not come down quick enough. A MAF will nealy always cause rough running but I wouldnt rule out an air leak first! Best of luck finding the fault. My advise would be get the car diagnosed properly or you'll waste money.

I have had a second hand replacement maf an 02 sensor An still the same An yh tryed with maf disconnected an ran worse some times recs wouldnt even change if foot was to floor an i still think it may be plugs or coil packs or air leak
