Vac pipes can be visually be ok but still might have perished or pin holes you can't see. With it being one of the cheapest/easiest jobs it's worth replacing them all.

When I had P400 it was the MAF did you replace it with a bosch one or aftermarket? did you replace all the vac pipes ie including the one to the vac pump by the bulkhead and on the axles?

Replaced all the pipes I could see but not on the axle will have a look and check them replaced up to metal pipes that go down and then from bottom of metal pipes to splitter bar/unit. Thanks again will keep trying for now. Mocheck

This is important! OEM/Bosch Replacement? I would also re-check your VAC pipes. I know you said that you replaced them, but when I did mine I had to take extra care on the VAC pump and the connections to the membrane valve thingys on the butterflys etc as these were still leaking.. If you did use OEM part, ( not second hand, as this could also be faulty ) but yes, p0400 and P0100 will be VAC related if the EGR is clean and MAF is replaced.

I replaced the MAF sensor with a pattern one from a company called sensors .I went to silicon on all the hoses. Cheers Mocheck

Pattern MAF sensors are notoriously unreliable. You need to use a Bosch one like people have said.
