Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Sorry its a 1.7ctdi diesel (actually its an Isuzu engine) with turbo. Codes that were present P0101 (confirmed) - Mass or Volume Air Flow "A" Circuit Range/Performance
P0102 (confirmed) - Mass or Volume Air Flow "A" Circuit Low
P0113 (confirmed) - Intake Air Temperature Sensor 1. However these codes could have been generated after I disconned the MAS. It has gone into limp mode again and there were no error codes either logged or pending. The ECU fault light does not light up when it fails so the MAS may be a red herring- but the car did run nearly ok with it disconnected. I have ordered a full set of filters to change although they are only 66% through their service life

Could have a look at the state of the intake manifold, may be clogged up and not letting enough flow over the MAS.

It's a symptom of the EGR system introducing soot and the crackcase vent mixing it with a bit of oil.

Be careful with spraying intake cleaner in there though you don't want a big chunk of it to fall in the cylinder.

Useful video showing the issue.

This is just a possibility, my A3 had a MAS issue that was cured by cleaning the manifold, some mouths later the turbo vanes started sticking (this gives an over pressure warning though) so got rid of it.

I've been there. Not nice. You have my sympathies.

You are 1 person and can only do so much. The staffing/running of a company is the Businesses responsibility - not that of the employee.
And remember, the more you do and cover on behalf of others only drives them to reduce staffing levels as you can 'cope'. Sometimes you need to let things fail so they can see there's an issue which needs fixing.

Going to have to make a long round trip to a small village just east of y Fenni tomorrow. Not looking forward to driving 2.25hrs each way

Out on the bike today. Two pet gripes, first the ****s who overtake on the left and cut you up going round roundabouts when you're taking the 3rd exit and entering in the right hand lane, and cyclists who insist on wearing effectively camouflage clothing especially out in the countryside.
