£68 new on exchange is it really worth messing around with s/h units or trying to clean them if they are so cheap.

yes it is worth messing around with it coz now ive got an extra £68 to spend at the next car show or some new rear lenses and some suspention mounts....i might even buy a cabby steering wheel.... i could do with a deep front splitter aswell and there £60 from v-dub...

you could buy a years worth of nuts magazine or some crack and if you were really messed up you could afford a gimp mask and slap stick and still have change for gary gliitter album collection....result

So when it fails again after you have messed with it, what do you plan on doing then. 

[robz]

then we'll have to buy one, lol
think it would be worth a chance though?!

[bhpamzz]

right im in a situation, i took off my maf yesterday because my car is running like sh!te!!
first of all when it was at its normal temp i disconnected the maf and took it for a drive and it drove the same, so ofcourse ther maf is gone. i then took it off and had a look at it and it looks brand new??
does the dirt get stuck inside the housing?? when you open the 2 torque screws??

[DAVEMARX]

i think i might have confused a few people

i'll make it simple

remove the black box from the siver thingy by undoing the 2 screws.

lift black box of siver thingy

turn balck box over reveling the MAF sensor.

if its dirty clean......

im not saying this will cure the problem but it worked for me so i thought it was worth posting as a simple fix could of cost me money i didnt have to spare.....

So yes its well worth a look............

siver aka silver.... must be the weed
