Stonejag 10 Posted September 26, 2011 Hi all, Lots of fretting on the way to work this morning - surging and generally crap running, then hunting at idle. A quick peek under the bonnet revealed the brown MAF wire had snapped off, but on the harness side of the connector :bonk: Looks like metal fatigue - it was sheared off right at the rubbery blue encapsulation. I cut the plug back to get access to the remaining wire and soldered it back together to get me home, but it looks a bit crap and it isn't very watertight. I'm very glad it was so easy to fix, though! :D Has anybody got a scrap harness I could cut the MAF connector off (or failing that parts to reterminate the one I have)? I only need the female connector and the couple of inches of wire after it - just enough to get a decent solder joint and some heatshrink on, really. Looks like it happened because the previous owner didn't restrain the induction kit in any way - it's just bobbing around in the engine bay under its own weight. Nipped into B&Q for some overpriced aluminium sheet on the way home so that should be sorted soon as well Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stonejag 10 Posted October 1, 2011 Turned out Tim's one was the wrong type! Never realised there was more than one breed of MAF, but now I know... So I'm still after one - 4-pin, please. Stone Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
