I'm posting on behalf of an acquaintence who drives an '05 S60 2.5T. She has a very short commute so the miles are low ~25K. She's taken her car to a nearby tire/auto shop and they don't want to work on it.

Symptoms:
Intermittent CEL during any of the following conditions:
1. ambient temp near +32F
2. High humidity/fog
3. Hard acceleration before motor completely warmed up

CEL clears itself. Driveability is normal except on high humidity days when it will stall when first engaging a gear. Upon restart and a little push on the throttle the car will run w/o stall.

This shop she's taken it to does not have VADIS, but they are suspecting MAF issue, and they want her to assume the risk if their guess is wrong.

Do these combination of symptoms sound like any obvious sensor failure? I've suggested she go to a properly equipped shop, but thought I'd check in here first.

thx
