Need some technical help please
Hi all,
I have been driving my Scoob for a few months now with no worries. I drove to work this morning and all was fine. When I started the car up before the trip home the check engine light didnt go off. I had to get the car home so I drove it anyway, when accelerating within the boost range the car kind of stuttered. When driving without pushing the turbo though it seemed pretty normal. I wont beable to get the car to a garage until next week, anybody have any ideas as to what could be wrong?
Cheers

1999, Uk Turbo, has a few mods (unichip, magnex, Induction Kit, Front mounted intercooler etc).
I just started the car to see if it had gone away. The idle keep changing between say 750 and 1100.

No, not certain... I'm not a mechanic.
The lumpy idle, CEL and flat spot in the rev range are classic signs and the MAF in these two model years are notoriously fragile. The part's about £80 and really simple to do (they tell me). Only buy the sensor, not the whole housing.
