I own a Seat Leon 1.9TDI & need to replace the Air Mass Meter, I have ordered one from Ebay for £36.00.
I am an computer Tech. (hardware) by trade so am pretty good with parts--- can someone please give me some advise on how to replace the AMM & what to look out for.
Reason for the replacement is that the car looses punch once over 70mph and does not have any pick left.
Any comments will be appreciated.
It is usually easier to replace just the sensor but they are usually held in by security torx bolts. When you get the new one you will see what I mean.
A word of caution though, you have probably bought a cheap unbranded one (not Bosch) these are often refurbished units and can be crap. I bought one for my Passat and it ran like a pig (kangarooing etc). Got my money back (lukily) and put in a proper Bosch unit which sorted it out.
I would not touch an unbranded one again. By the way, if it is unbranded you could have bought one from EuroCarParts for £28 + vat and had 12 month warranty. Ebay is not always a bargain.
