Fault Code P0101 -Resets using ODBII for a month or so.

I keep getting a P0101 Mass Airflow (MAF) Circuit Operating Range or Performance Problem fault which either clears itself after a couple of days if I don't reset it with my ODBII dongle n Android app. Then it will be fine for a month or so and then I'll get it again. I've had the MAF Sensor off and ...

Re: dual mass flywheel clutch

Interestingly, since the car was new I had a lot of problems with stalling at low revs. Since I picked up the car again with the new Dual Mass Flywheel it seems to be much better at low revs. It seems much smoother so I wonder if I have had a problem with the flywheel for a long time. They tell me ...
