    Hi all, I've been wondering what the normal MAF readings should be for a 2.0T? (Mines an '08, petrol, manual). I'm getting positive long-term fuel trims which increase with rpm, peaking around 1500-1750rpm (~14%) and then dropping down above that. I get ~+3% at idle and ~+6-7% at steady cruise...

It is definitely very much dependant on...

    Hi, I've got a 2008 9-3 with a 120Hp diesel engine & I've had a few issues with the fuel filter over the past few years of owning it.
