Orange label maf any alternative.

[Derek type ra]

I have had 2 of these break on me in the past few month's. Didn't have the money to buy new as they are very expensive, think another one might be on the way out getting fault code 23 and the car isn't idleing right. Is there any alternative or will i have to buy a new one?

I think its new only mate, Don't think there is any alternative.

Check this out though:

Genuine parts but cheaper than the main dealer, I got one off them about a year ago and still going strong

Cheers for the link man, went out there and done the ecu reset and it seems to have cleared the fault. Not getting any codes now. Had the fuel pump go the other morning could that have caused a problem with the maf? like tripped it out.

Maf and O2 sensors are a balls they go regularly , there not cheap , you'll never get a good secondhand one (sure you'd only change it if it was broke )
and any of the cheaper options don't last .

Some of the crap octane boosters can leave a film over the plugs and O2 sensor , which in turn fucks with your MAF other than that i don't know
why they go so often . I have never gotten more than a year out of any MAF in my car


P.s dose anybody recommend cleaning MAF's or O2 sensor's and if so how ???

A friend of mine was saying medical alcohol works for cleaning the maff,
can be purchesd from any chemist with maybe a syringe to apply it,
i believe people buy it for cleaning cd's, a bottle is about €3.50

Cheers im going to try it
