morning all,
The ETCS yellow warning came on over the weekend and intermittently pops on when itsa being driven - ususally a little while after starting. Car seems to be running ok - did a 200 miles round trip on sunday with the ETS on.I may however have experienced one or two "jolts" over the past couple of weeks - that I may have attributed to potholes.
Been throught the forum a few times regarding the MAF/ ETM issues - my car is a '99 Mk1 XC & only done 80K , so I have to assume it comes within the age range for these problems to pop up.
What next XC experts ? Im going to replace the MAF anyway, as its relatively easy it sems and not too expensive - is a major ETM issue on its way ? I havent pulled the codes as I dont have a clue how to do this - should I ?
Any advice appreciated - a big job will effectively mean me losing the car, as it wont become economical to keep it running
cheers
