Show me a screenshot of your car displaying a value for "HFM sensor air mass" and your argument may have some weight to it.road warrior wrote: ↑Tue Jul 23, 2019 9:51 am If your inpa is reporting no reading then your equipment is faulty or your cars are. I foresee a wonderful afternoons entertainment at zedfest where you attempt to prove there is no through flow of air going past a moving engine air intake.
And to clarify, I am NOT Saying he needs a new Maf. I am saying there is no reading from the maf., an entirely different proposition.
Before this becomes handbags at dawn, may I suggest you try something else other than inpa to take live data from ?
There is no avoiding the simple fact that air MUST be passing past the maf into the engine or it could not function.
Of course nobody is denying that there is airflow through the AFM...obviously there is, it's just that the ECU does not report it to INPA as HFM sensor air mass (on the 2.5Si and 3.0Si engines at least). At the risk of repeating myself, it's probably displayed in the MESSWERTBLOCK1 screen as "luftmasse".
