being a 99 with the maf sensor often failing.. I would suggest you reset the ecu and see how it runs.. if it runs worse then replace the maf sensor..

thanks simon
thats what i was thinking but i only got the car last june and changed the maf as soon as i got it,i know they are prone to failure but surely not after 6 months.i will try an engine reset before i got to the dealers for an argument.

update- just reset the ecu as described on simons excellent website,no faults to report,the slight judder thing is still there but the car is now flying when on boost,i was thinking could it just something simple like a bit of damp as the car is not used daily and at this time of year problems like that can happen.
any more suggestions gratefully recieved.
