Default MAF clicking noise

I believe the item you are pointing to is the N80 purge valve for the charcoal canister for fuel vapor recovery. It should make a clicking noise.

If your MAF is clicking then take it out and clean it or replace it. Not sure if it should throw a code.

Here's a link on cleaning. http://www.audiforums.com/forum/audi...leaning-45302/

So I have the airbag light on. I heard its the connection. Do I just cut them and tape them or heatshrink in the tube thing. I know you have to have vag-com to clear it but does auto zone do that lol?

Air bag wires? Make sure you get those fixed correctly.

Autozone can clear a code but some will tell you they are prohibited by federal or state law. I call BS on that. As an alternative you can buy a code reader that has erasing capabilities.

Save up for VAG_COM from Ross and you'll be forever happy.

Someone is guessing. Which connection? There are many. Might be ignitters, might be crash sensors, etc. Might as well track down a VAG-COM. It will tell you what's throwing the air bag code. They after you fix that, you'll need VAG-COM to turn it back off.

Well I've looked up other post and many say its the clip underneath the seat. I would say the color of the clip is yellow and purple. I heard to clean them but I tried to in Clio them and it didn't work so. Someone said to use the crimp aka duraseals but I would rather heat shrink them.

bought elm327 bluetooth obd2 car thing. So i use my android phone and the torque app. i saw a some faults like o2 sensors so i imagen those need to get replaced. Main reason why i got it was to clear the damn airbag light and the ****ing three god damn beeps i hear, and it didnt do much. anyone reccomend a good android app? cant afford ross techs vag com or its free one because they dont support bluetooth. (dont have a laptop or netbook, big gaming desktop on the third floor >_<)
