B5 1.8 20v Sport stalling issues

Post by the_type19_kid »

Evening guys!

New to UK Passats!

A few weeks ago i got my hands on a cheap 1.8 20v B5 but its developed a stalling fault. Every time i come to a round-a-bout, set of lights, etc. it cuts out on me but starts without fail straight away on the key. Also can be hesitant whilst accelerating.

Ive looked at other VW forums and from my knowledge it seems to be the MAF sensor! Took it apart, cleaned it but unfortunatley it keeps doing it and can be intermittent at times! Also my B5 doesnt have a genuine Bosch unit fitted!

Just wanted to see what you guys thoughts were and if this has happened to anyone else

Cheers :-)
