It was running a bit rough when i bought it in August so i unplugged the MAF.
It ran fine but not as smooth as my last CDT. I tried the MAF plugged in again but it was even worse; undrivable in fact so i unplugged it again.

About a week ago i very carefully cleaned the MAF with IPS spray from Maplins. 5 or 6 squirts and tickled with a soft watercolour brush, 5 or 6 squirts again and it did actually look a bit brighter.

I needed the car the next day so left the MAF unplugged but yesterday I plugged it in. It ran super smooth:drool4: but with absolutely no pulling power at all until 2,300 rpm:(. And then is now so sprightly.

:confused:Anyone else found this?

If you are getting no power until 2600prm, regrettably the MAF is goosed.!
Despite of what anyone will tell you, 'cleaning' the MAf will only kill it so please don't do it, when its performance deteriorates you need to buy a new one. So sorry
