View Full Version : Mass Air Flow Sensor
Been told that i need one of these to fix my car. Im not so sure i do as it could be a multitude of things. basically my car is running like a tank. Is there anyone in swansea who has a 1.2 sxi 2001 that could meet me to see if their working MAF will fix my problem - i dont fancy spending money on something that might not need replacing!
:doublethumbs:
if its bogging down its more than likely the maf buddy
spose i could buy one off fleabay and if it doesnt work i could always resell it???:banghead:

Have you got any fault codes?
get a bosch one off ebay for about £30 just as good as the vx ones
Have you got any fault codes?
No pal
Been on a diagnostic aswell - was even going to change the timing chain today but the garage i went to in gorseinon said there was nothing wrong with the chain - they recommnded a few things but he said to look at the MAF - can you help?
Dan have you a link as i dont know what par number to get??
if it is the MAF, there must be some code for it.
if u do the pedal trick. should show P0100.
if not i wouldnt bother changing it.
or u could give ur MAF a good clean to start with.

Don't say ATS for info on the timing chain/MAF!?
If the timing chain is f*cked it will sound fine if not driven for a while, 3-5 miles it will start ticking like sh*t and sound like a diesel

if no codes then its usually a mechanical problem. check plugs, check fuel filter and fuel pressure etc
try and find someone who will lend you there maf

What garage in Gorse then?
I would lend you mine but mine is buggered, getting the fault code for it but cannot be bothered to get it done. Doesn't seem to be adding any noise or affect in performance :lol:

Runs like a 1.0!
Tap the accelerator in neutral and there is a delay and then it revs :no:

Actually mine is doing that often. If you do find out please tell me what it is (yes i know mines a 1.0 but i've had it checked and been told it aint right, far worse that your usual 1.0 )

Im prob gonna buy one off fleabay and then if it works it works - if not i will sell it back!
Then i wil try the Throttle body :banghead::banghead:

i dont know how to clean the maf tbh.
but sumone here must know.
i would say try the throttle body first, caz u can clean it with a bit of wd40, dont over spray it tho. then buff if with a cloth.
Just Incredible

No point cleaning the MAF as its not designed for that (silicon cleaners wont do the trick)
if its faulty, its faulty
most times it wont show up as a fault code
when mine went, I luckily had one spare so just swapped it over and my car ran sweet again
Thanks for the help guys - my MAF was posted today so i should get it tmw!
MIKE its the gorseinon MOT centre just up from B and Q:thumbs:
