dinkus 10 Posted October 7, 2004 grand job - just wondering if anyone found a new supplier :) can they be cleaned up at all? Depends on what type it is... if it's just he heated wire one, then nope you'll break it as soon as you touch it. The later mesh ones may be cleanable, but don't count on it. They go through a cleaning cycle anyway. Every time you turn the engine off they heat up to 1000 degs briefly and burn all the crud off. I guess if your MAF is dead anyway then you've got nothing to lose trying to clean it. I would go for something like carb cleaner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pablo_vr6 0 Posted October 7, 2004 I have a good one on the car but my RR guy reckons its not 100% as torque is a bit low 3-5k revs. feels perfectly fine to drive on etc but something just lacking at low revs. I also have a duff one which has issues at idle etc that Im not afraid to mess with :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
