    CGA3DE Throttle Body Question

    Hi thanks for the response. We ended up just fitting a straight pipe across and clamping it from either end! Seems to hold and looks ok with no leaks. As a result it now idles fine and does not stall, however, there is still some hesitation when accelerating on WOT where it struggles to rev and...

    CGA3DE Throttle Body Question

    Hi all, Finally got around to changing the throttle body on my K11 after ages of uneasy idles etc. Having done the research and found the coilpack TB's are the same on the 1.0 and the 1.4(really a 1.3) I am in the middle of changing it now but have come across an inconsistency. In the pics...

    K11 1.4 CGA3DE - P0171

    Any suggestions? Changed out the maf again for another one and it seems better but it still idles erratically and pops and labours on wot as well as feathering it. Really annoying as I've lost count of how much I have spent on different sensors etc.

    Apologies for the thread necro here but in need of some advice. The car has started to judder and stall and I think this issue is back, what is the part code for the throttle body as I plan on getting that changed. Are there any other cars with the same one? Thanks in advance

    Cvt gearbox stuck in sports mode

    So my 2000 w plate k11 1.4 auto has started playing silly buggers again recently. I know the maf needs changing as I have an erratic idle and rev drops kin the rev range, and I have one in order but the gearbox has started acting up. It basically feels as though the car is stuck in its...

    So I bought a tps off of amazon for around £12 and will whack that in to see if it makes a difference. I will also be going back to eurocarparts to see if I can exchange tha maf as it seems to be at fault again.

    Also, just out of interest, is it worth going down the k&n/after market filters or does that not make a difference at all?

    K11 1.4 CGA3DE - P0171

    Thanks for the response, the engine has just gone to 15471 so not many miles at all. I have no idea about the mechanisms around that area, I just kept cleaning them hoping for the best. Now that you mention it, the air filter does have an oil seal around the edge? Is that what you mean? I might...

    That looks exactly like the set I have but the fit isn't great. Had another stab at cleaning it today and will see how it goes...

    K11 1.4 CGA3DE - P0171

    So the drama continues......after cleaning the MAF it was all perfect, after a long run up to Yorkshire and then back down south, just as I'm pulling into home the EML light blinks on and once again I have a P0171 :( Will clean the MAF again tomorrow but not sure how many more times I can take...

    Ah man, of I'd have known that I wouldn't have bought it! Got loads of it to clean thermal paste for my computer bits!! Would you happen to know the screw size for the 2 torx screws holding the MAF in? I need to replace them as they're pretty chewed up!

    K11 1.4 CGA3DE - P0171

    So I cleaned the MAF sensor with MAF cleaner (electrical contact cleaner?) from Halfords which smells remarkably like isopropyl alcohol and the car fired up fine and revs freely. I also cleaned the throttle body and it's surrounding areas with carb cleaner and checked the air filter and the area...

    Anyone recommend a replacement screw for the 2 bits that hold the MAF in? I kinda bodged it a bit!

    Will have a stab at this in the morning. Ordered some bits from Halfords so will let you know how I get on! Thanks again for all the pointers :D
