Changing MAF

FROGGY · 7th March 2015, 13:25

What sort of fitting is this? What size is it and what do I ask for?

All my T-sockets have 6 splines. This on the MAF has 5.
Peed off again.
Why does nothing ever go right?
Wanted to change the entire MAF unit but couldn't find a way to remove the bottom screw...............

I got mine out with a pair of mole grips and replaced them with normal self tapping screws

Screwfix is where I got a good set of security bits, lots in the kit for about 6 quid I think.

Mole grips worked for me, took a couple of tries as there really isnt much to grip but it worked

I managed to hacksaw a groove across to top just enough to get a flat screwdriver in. Very soft metal made it nice and easy.

Oh and I started my Mk1 ZT with the MAF disconnected and it did put the EM light on, mine has the sensor on the intercooler pipe. Had it cleared locally as I couldn't wait for fifty cold starts or whatever it is to clear itself, so annoying driving with it on.
