Oh right, fair enough. Well if I can her back together i might see if any pipes seem to collapse under pressure. If not, i may have to take her into work in her current state and run an OBD check

What year is your 1.9D?
When my MAF went the car smoked and had no power. It did trigger the engine warning lamp though. Because mine is an 04 I was able to buy a generic code reader (autel al519) and read the code. Unplugging the faulty MAF made no difference. Got a genuine MAF from eurocarparts and haven't looked back in 3+ years.

Where is a good place to buy a decent code reader? And are there any good cheaper code readers around? Can't i just get the code off the reader and google it? |

Proscan are cheap and cheerful obd2 readers, do the job, or, there are the Eml27 Bluetooth things you combine with an app on phone/tablet/laptop, the eml27 are a fiver on ebay, apps from free to a handful of change.
Pic of my proscan from sorting wifes octavia, whilst plugged in and driving, it captured a freeze frame of when the fault occurred so the data can be read, useful feature! Last edited by AndyV7o; Sep 20th, 2018 at 21:44. |

Yeah, its just engine management (you need vida etc for abs etc) shows generic codes, clears codes, shows live data, freezeframe capture of fault occurring, etc.
In that pic it showed that overboost occurred and logged fault code at 3500 rpm, 55mph, what pressure was in the system, etc, and further stuff if scrolled down from that screen. It doesnt do a whole lot, but basic scanners are limited to generic data. The eml27 is a cheaper option, I dont know what it does exactly, but can show more advanced things such as fuel rail pressure, voltage etc with the right app. SiRobb on yputube (CheshireD5 on here) did a diagnosing cold start problem video on youtube showing the elm27 and torque app in use, quite impressive to the point I bought one and the app but havent played with it yet...

You could try unplugging your MAF sensor, the first thing down stream of the air box and then take it for a drive. I did that when troubleshooting a loss of power like yours and it immediately drove like it should do. So I bought a new MAF sensor but it turned out to be the egr so I've just got the old one sitting on a shelf in a box waiting for the new one to break. It could just show you if the issue is mechanical or electrical though.
My dad's T5 transporter did exactly the same as yours but I think the smoke was black when he dropped an intercooler pipe. I remember you were saying you had trouble with a hose popping off?
