Im sorry Im sure this is not a new topic but I cant find where I was advised to unplug a maf sensor to check if functioning properly.
I seem to remember the post saying if maf is faulty the power will return.

I replaced the sensor about a year ago as considered faulty by this check and it was fine.

Now the fault has returned with new sensor I have unpluged and all is well again.

As I am travelling high miles for work at moment will I do any damage leaving it un plugged long-ish term till I can replace again

Thanks in advance for any advice

Hi and thank for the reply it seems to be running fine but does appear to be using fractionally more fuel, I will be replacing the maf sensor this week so am not talking about months,was just concerned about doing irreperable damage.
Thanks again

Thanks for tips, as I said I did replace it about a year ago with one from local spares shop and suspect it's as bad as ebay ones this time I'll get a good one from main dealer.

Having been told to get a good maf I have been offered from main dealer £136 from local spares shop a Hella for £81 and a Lucas for £65 are these prices about right? The one I got last time in my ignorance was a unknown make Masterflow! Can't find bill to tell what I paid.

I fitted a hella in mine with no problems, reputable brand and all that. I think OEM is now svo after some corporate buyout of Siemens.
Decent price that considering how much I paid for mine at trade!

Thanks Gumby
