Checking and cleaning MAF sensors

[mudski]

Yeah well I'd be getting it from Perth...Your sensor should have the Part number on it. Check it against the $210 part.

Thanks Mudski for the advice. Have just had it serviced and the mechanic cleaned it for me this time.... said it was filthy.... The difference is just incredible...30% power increase I would say... will certainly clean it more often now......

Would also be interested in this. Trying to do a custom air box and would rather MAF that doesn't bolt straight to air box of my 4.5 but rather connect via pipe or something

Sorry if this has been asked already, I may have missed it somewhere, but, What are the tell tale signs, that the MAF may need cleaning or replacing.??

Nothing wrong with aftermarket anything, its just that you know what you get when you buy OEM. Well you are supposed to know.
