Omega General Help / MAF cleaning with CarbCleaner

« on: 01 June 2012, 11:26:15 »

Had this mentioned in other topic but everything else except this has been answered  so I'm posting it as a single question.

MAF in large air filter pipe seems dirty and oily
Can I simply spray it with CarbCleaner to clean it?
Don't have any error codes but the grille inside the pipe is noticeably black

Try drilling holes in that flexy tube on the middle exhaust 
When on my old Lancia it went 1.6 litres roared like dodge viper with a blown exhaust.
Could be heard from far FAR away   
But it was damn embarassing to drive like that

If you have air suspension you need self leveling shocks, or you can change rear springs (non leveling springs needed) and put standard shocks

Yes I know the hoses on EGR and MAP were messed up, I found your old post and that made me contact you.
Thanks very much!!!!!   
 I just need hoofing_it to resolve the MAF issue.

If I recall it goes somewhere from middle of the engine to near the servo fluid bottle?

Thanks aaronjb
This econf thing is worrying me the most

2. The MAF (if I remember it all correctly) shouldn't see any oil - it's directly after the air filter and there's no breather hoses to the filter housing; at least there wasn't on mine, mine was actually a pre-MAF car with only the MAP sensor. Anyway, carb cleaner should be fine but these things can be delicate so don't attack the element inside with anything (if you can see it, again, no MAF on my car so I'm going based on what the petrol MAF looks like)

I can see a metallic grille inside the large pipe that goes from turbo to air filter.
I guess this is the MAF
Grille is black from oil fumes probably so don't know will carb cleaner do any damage if I use it

True but I try first to find the answers myself, saw that these two fellow membets had most experience with similar problems so it was my intention to put them in the headline so they can see it.
Also from view count I can see that other people were looking at the topic, but it is a bit tricky problem so hope somenone will soon be along to help me.

cem I'm not saying greeks are the only one to blame, but hey you cannot spend more than you have.
If you do it you'll end up in big problems.
They are used to spending more than they have and they don't want to give it up

Nickbat I would have to agree with you on taxing bit, but I would also have to say that Greeks are guilty as hell for their problems.
Remeber when I read one statement from their transportation minister on Greek railways.
He said that it would be cheaper to pay a taxy to every train passenger than to fund the railways, cause ordinary conducters salary was around 4-5 thousand euros.
Also regarding taxing, in Greece if you have a swiming poll you pay some kind of luxury tax.
In Athens there were around 120 houses who payed that tax.
When they took a look at the sattelite images there were around  12 000 houses with pools in Athens alone if I remember correctly.
Alos remember a friend who went there on bussines trip first time and immediately wanted to relocate there.
When asked why he simply said, they don't get up early, work easy if at all, party every night and have great salaries so something is definitely wrong there

I'm sure someone will spit fire at the mention of WD40 soon 

Don't think it will help cause it doesnt slow down and stops it simply squeaks loudly and halts like it hits something.
Still didn't have the time to strip the door
