Title: not your usual MAF issue....
Post by: Dalo Harkin on 31 March 2013, 08:34

Ok, so my car started to hesitate slightly when on full throttle, checked everything and I thought I would clean the MAF got the anti tamper torx off and left the bottom part of the sensor submerged in isopropyl alcohol for an hour, left it to dry naturally, refitted it yesterday and the car was shuddering (just on tick over) unplugged the MAF and went for a drive, no hesitation and the car feels as it did previous in regards to power and pull

So does it sound like the MAF was dead/dying and cleaning it killed it off, it's a genuine VW one and only been on about 6m if that
