Any known issues with the cheap £25 Ebay MAFs?
-
I had one and it worked for about 3 weeks and died somehow. It may have been 'cooked' by other problems on my car though ie water in plug wells, I don't know. i sorted that then changed it again (for another cheap one) and it seems to be working ok now

I can only state problems found with those for a nissan terrano and well echoed by other owners and that is they dont last and often are only good for 5-10 minutes running before the ecu rejects them.Also i bought an ebay one for a mercedes E200 a few years back,same issue ,ran great for 3 miles then back to a type of limp mode,in each case the genuine maf resolved the problem . It has been suggested the impedance of the internals just isn`t what it should be causing the ecu to not want to play with them anymore.Have bought from good reputable ebayers and they replace them only for the replacement to eventually do the same or immediately do the same.,its a pain in the arse sending them back,incurs costs and you end up regretting a cheap fix plus the main dealer part would normally have a 12 months warranty,more cost but peace of mind and unless you get totally perfect running with the ebay ones you cant rule out that they are not quite fixing any problem 100%.

iirc, from your previous post on this issue, from your description, the one on there now is a cheepo? i thought? :-?
-
Might be worth a look at these people. they say their parts are genuine OE Siemens, but for half the price of a stealers;

,Is £70 delivered half the dealer price?,they could be worth having but i would like to see a siemens part no. quoted.

Try this seller on ebay - theairflowmetercompany - had 2 V6 ones and both perform ok - make a best offer - £30 :y

Mine is a cheapy but I don't think the car is quite right.
No codes but feels a little sluggish.

You need to exchange one from another car thats running sweet to put the maf possibility to bed then,no other way without spending.

Hang on Mike is off to Thailand - his is running OK.
Still tempted to get a Bosch after another 10 KF repairs
-
My car is getting sporadically sluggish.
Last few weeks it has lost its zip, a recent test track scored 84, done 85 standard, 90 late last year. Not stating units so no legal comback.
Definately slower than coming back from Newent.

Don't know of anyone around here with a good 2.6 :(

Can't think what else could be wrong.
I could change the petrol filter.

When was air filter last changed? And pattern or genuine?
-
Well next dry weekend day I'm going to do the petrol filter just in case.
Then see if anyone local has a good MAF to try.
I know of one member with a 3.2 VXL V6 - I have his DVD to return :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[
Still tempted to change as I cannot afford to change car until my daughter leaves school (5 years to go)
-

K&N but not heavily oiled - however it has been in for over 4 years and washed regularly. Only had the original fail last year.
-
Air filter was in 2.0 as well - no MAF issues.
Old 2.6 MAF was not oily either.
Will clean Air Filter this weekend and also the fuel filter after I have done the brakes
-
if you are going to try maf , try air temperature sensor as well imo..
-
Preliminary check for a dodgy MAF would be;
* with ignition off disconnect wiring to MAF. Start engine whilst disconnected and if it idles better than before its more than likely the MAF. However, also,
*Check all air hoses between air fliter and throttle body for splits/tight connections. Unmetered air entring the throttle after the MAF can give the same symptoms as a fubar MAF.
* Check air filer is clean
* Check all vaccuum pipes for leaks.
Symptoms of a fubar MAF include hard starting,stalling, hesitation when accelerating, rough idle,surging, and increased fuel consumption, among others, but they're the ones you'll probably notice first. :y
-
I have had a Ebay airflow meter company one on mine since last summer and it is still working. The car doesn't run well but in my case I think it is some other as yet undiscovered issue.
The new MAF cured instantly the stalling at junctions problem
