John W VR6 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 Think i might have a problem with the MAF sensor on my Mk 1 VR6, where would be the best place to get one and how much am i looking at? Quote
Guest wolfie Posted June 21, 2007 Report Posted June 21, 2007 where would be the best place to get one and how much am i looking at? a shop that sells them? and from here I cant quite see what your looking at yet alone count it :19: Quote
seatkid Posted June 23, 2007 Report Posted June 23, 2007 Or for a few quid more get a genuine one from your local dealer. Don't forget to haggle. Quote
John W VR6 Posted June 23, 2007 Author Report Posted June 23, 2007 Cheers all, i'll get ringing round, haggling sounds good to me!! :unsure: Quote
charles Posted June 24, 2007 Report Posted June 24, 2007 I have had the MAF replaced 3 times now.The last time it last for only 1,5 years.Poor quality sensor Quote

dakster Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 Have you tried cleaning it? The other family car had a dirty MAF (causing all sorts of running problems) and my garage stripped it out and cleaned it (with brake cleaner) and dried it with an airline. Car runs better now than it ever did. A genuine Mercedes MAF was Quote
seatkid Posted July 21, 2007 Report Posted July 21, 2007 (edited) Mercedes MAF is an old style wire sensor, new sensors as used on the Galaxy are thin film hybrid ic sensors - these generally don't respond to the cleaning trick. I wouldn't buy anything from Ebay - its an outlet for Chinese copies amonst other things. Edited July 21, 2007 by seatkid Quote
