5 Blown MAF sensors in 6 months - seeking help

[the evil twin]

Not as simple as failing due to being bombarded with dirty air from a split or hole in the inlet system?

Possible I spose but can't see how myself... it would need to be serious "dirt" to take out a thermistor and I would think if it was dirt then a clean would get the MAF working again albeit limping again soon after.

Will be interesting to find out what the issue is thats for sure.
Probably 75% of vehicles on the aussie roads never have a MAF Sensor cleaned in its lifetime.
It is only forums like this that raise the issue (or a MAF OBD fault code obviously) so most Aussies wouldn't ever have heard of a MAF Sensor.
Having 5 fail on 1 vehicle in 6 months is, dare I say, unprecedented
