mikeyb007 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi all. Just joined today. I've had my UK model turbo for the last 2 and half years. Alls been well,until the last month. Flipping MAF sensor problem. I thought I was clever , buying a cheap sensor off eBay for £45. Car still lumpy! Took it to local garage after I gave it a service with new plugs ,leads etc. he diagnosed MAF sensor. Now having to buy the "real deal" from Scooby parts. Lesson learnt!

Gambit Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 No worries mate welcome to join us. And I love Nurburgring the Green Hell only been once and never been so freaked out. But was worried about crashing and how quick bikes come past me along with a few cars ok I admit it I bottled it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I know we was hoping to go as a club at the start of the year, but after a few personal problem with some of the other members ended up seeing it past this year for the full subaru weekend but if I was going that way it has to be worth a trip :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
