Ok. Four blue icons all present. Pending fault came up with : P0170.

fuel trim malfunction bank 1

Possible causes
- Intake air leaks
- Faulty front heated oxygen sensor
- Ignition misfiring
- Faulty fuel injectors
- Exhaust gas leaks
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- Lack of fuel
- Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
- Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection

Dirty air filter, air filter housing or Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, or faulty MAF sensor are common causes for the P0170 code.

Air filter, is new, and housing clean as a whistle. Where is the MAF sensor located?

Check Clive's latest sensor thread.

I do not see it and chances are I wouldn't know what to do if I did. I assume a garage would check all of these things rather than go just for the , 'aye it's yer sensor mate.'

Of course you're right, today one really needs a garage he can trust not to do any unnecessary tasks...
