MAF sensor
To preface this; I'm a very big novice when it comes to cars. I've never really done any real work on them, and if i did, i'd likely either break something or make it worse.
Anyways, it's probably rather basic to you guys, but what i presume is the issue caused by the MAF sensor is causing slight issues again. The usual loss of power until 2500rpm or so. I just wanted to know exactly where the MAF sensor is situated, and if unplugging it really is as simple as unplugging it, or whether it needs to be done in a certain way or with certain tools. Thanks. |

Hi Walter. You will need to remove the air filter cover to get to the MAF sensor, tools you will need is a 5mm Allen key or socket with long extension with 5mm allen bit. There are five captive bolts three along the top & two at the back corners, once once removed you can unplug the MAF and replace the air filter cover. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=200016 You could always do this mod to the air filter cover to gain access to the MAF at al times without removing the air filter cover. https://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/for...d.php?t=307029

I had the same symptoms so I bought a genuine bosch one, fitted it and to my surprise there was a slight and I mean a slight improvement.
A t4 session confirmed it was faulty so I had my money back, put the old one back in but left it disconnected. The car performs very well indeed and the only downside is a slight increase in fuel consumption. I will at some stage get another genuine bosch maf and try again. |
