Yes. A large O ring.

 

Did u check its not jammed in the airbox end?

Hey GT-Four does that motor go like it looks? Is Carlos Sainz missing one from his collection?

Just a thought - I had the same problem - traced it to a bodged connecter on the MAF sensor - if this is also your problem then new sensors won't change anything.

The connector on mine was suspiciously held in place by a cable tie - when properly mated, they stay put without external assistance...

 

Incidentally, a collegue of mine tells me that unplugging (or otherwise disabling) the MAF sensor is a cute trick to improve the emissions temporarily - occasionally seen at MOT tests.

hi john

 

A new maf indeed cured the fault on my sisters galaxy.

 

if the maf plug is loose or easy to pull off i can only assume the retaining clip is broken :-(

 

As with a good clip it should be nigh on impossible to remove without unclipping
