Title: MAF images if you're interested...
Post by: Webby the Bear on 14 August 2012, 20:15:21
Hi guys,

Was just trying to get these head bolts off and they're still on. but to be fair i havent had a chance to get a socket adapter for my breaker bar.

So anyway i had the bagpipes to hand so i thought i'd get a look at the MAF sensor as i'd never seen one...

it looks like a SIM card. Weird as i thought it was just a piece of wire  ::)

when you replace the MAF do you just replace the ''SIM'' or does the unit extract sideways out of the bagpipe tube? :)

Don't try it mate - usually ends in tears  ;)

You can just replace the MAF sensor - undo the two screws in Robs pic and old maf sensor comes out - refit new and refit screws - jobs good ;)
