  • Cleaning MAF on S50

    Anyone done this if so any tips - what product is best?

    I've done it, and knackered it. Save yourself £200 and don't bother

    Ps if you must see my thread, but make sure you read it all ;-)

      Yes, don't touch it! On your car it will be working fine, and if you've always run a standard air filter it should always be good. I bought a brand new BOSCH one for mine when it was down on power but it made no difference on my much higher mile car (it turned out to be a knock sensor holding timing back).

        I cleaned the MAF in my S50 a couple of years ago and it looks very different from that S54 version as shown in that link above.

        Here is a pic from my blog : http://v2tre.wordpress.com/2012/04/07/ilmamassamittari/

        Simply cleaned that one up with some electonic cleaning spray that evaporates fully without residues. Gentle spraying and NO touching of the sensor.

        It worked up ok in my case.

          I did just the same and it was fine
