Chris Wiltshire Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hi, Going to give the MAF sensor a clean, do I take the little tube off and leave the sensor on and then spray inside the tube onto the sensor or do I take the sensor out completely? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dicky Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 (edited) When I cleaned mine it was the former option. Mind you it was spotless after about 70k of motoring and didn't notice any change, however cleaning the throttle control valve did make a difference.

GT4 Zed Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sensor out and use electrical component spray. Give it 2-3 blasts straight unto the resistor wire let it dry for about. 5mins the repeat. Let it dry for 20mins and refit. Good idea to clean the TB butterfly too and probably the plenum of PCV blow by oil. I use a small paint brush and white spirit to do this. Do a full relearning procedures and job done. The car always drives crisply and responsively after this. I do it one a year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wiltshire Posted October 5, 2015 Author Share Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks guys, I did the TB a few months back before I had the Uprev done, just never thought of doing the MAF. I suppose the MAF mainly gets dirty if your running oiled filters etc? My TB was stinking though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
