Check the MAF yourself but DONT touch it, they are really sensitive little things, if its dirty get some electrical cleaner spray and spray it, it will clean it and evaporate, again, dont touch it to clean it, it will break.
If ur mec used a vag-com and thats all that came up then u might have to go to a dealer and get a proper reading, find out how he checked and go from there, you can check the lamda urself as well, check ther front on on the CAT, if its dirty use the same elec spray to clean it with some cotton buds, a busted lamba/O2 sensor could cause the cab to run a little rich
Summing def isnt right but its gonna be a process of elimination, so be patient, once everything has been exhausted then you might have to go to a dealer for them to investigate, its difficult to be a forum mechanic so all we can really do is tell you what to check.
Is the turbo alright? no funny colour smoke, black, white or blue coming out the zorst if you tramp it?
il get my mac to check all this out... knowing me il cause some kak.... il also as him to check the 02 sensor
i no its hard to be a mac here but at least you guys gave me some direction.... hopefully all this gets sorted out....

Car was serviced on Monday.
My advice, get REVO SW and check your tyres, balancing and alignment, Tyre pressure on 17s should be 2.5bar.
Ensure the car is functioning correctly before getting software.
2.5 is too hard. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations in the petrol cap.
Alignment is worth checking though.
Manufacturer recommends 2.7 with light load. TWT recommends 2.3, I evened it out at 2.5, still a smooth ride.
Smooth ride or not, its the way the tyre will ware thats the problem, too hard and the centre of the tyre will ware quicker than the edge, too soft and the egde's ware quicker blah blah
[/quote]Ask Tiger if he checked your car with a VCDS (Vag-Com), having lotsa tools doesnt nessesarily mean he has the right ones for the job.[quote]
Better yet, ask on the forum if anyone has a Vag-Com and is willing to do a proper diagnostics on ur car for you, you might have to supply beers tho[quote]
ahhh i see what you mean now.... thanks bud... well first things first... will check up maf sensor and 02 sensor... clean them and see from there.... also try and do a vag-com on the car...

eish i hope this hasnt happened...
THey will come back fairly quickly - within a week or so - but if he plugs in VCDS and clears codes, he'll blat them again. He must read the measuring block first.
