Loads of post on this in the forum.

These things can be difficult to diagnose so suggest you plug in Vida to see what fault codes there are. Good luck.
Unplugged the MAF while running and it runs but surges on tickover. Haven't disconnected it while engine off mebbe that be different. My plan was to put it on vida but can't get it to install. I had it at the dealers for an oil service 2 weeks ago and asked them to diagnose it. They said my swirl flap sustem all needs replacing? Pretty sure this won't cause the massive drop of power I'm getting. Not sure they know what they doing hence the diagnosing from home.
