Carl did you use a genuine MAF? Where did you get it from?
Sorry Fahad,
Must have missed this post.
Yep genuine Bo***, I got it from that place I mentioned a little while ago.
I noticed the MPG increased on the computer, still haven't done a full tank fill-up check the accurate way and compare back to the computer, which prior was 3 - 5 mpg out.
I wouldn't say that the old MAF was totally shot, as you may remember I had an issue when re-starting the car whilst warm the initial drive off was a little less refined than I expect and equally I could never quite totally get rid of the one little hiccup whilst it was just warming up.. As the issue seemed to be with temperature I suspected one of the temps sensors, one is incorporated within the MAF sensor and one within the MAP sensor. As mentioned previously in other posts I have suspected the MAP sensor and in particular the temp sensor incorporated within it, I have a genuine one on order with the same place, however Bo*** seem to have delayed things slightly and it is not expected until 1st June.
I decided to change the MAF as I could get that, more to rule it out, this is when I noticed that MPG was increased, power delivery was smoother. I remember reading that MAF sensors generally last around 60k.
I managed to source a used genuine Bosch MAP sensor on fleabay and for the price it was worth the punt to see if and what changed, so I cleaned the part up on Friday and fitted it this Saturday. I'm still in the ECU re-learning period but so far so good, non-of the symptoms have yet appeared, so see how it goes this week.
