A 2.6/3.2 MAF details are as follows:

Vx part number - 93171760
Bosch part number - 0281 002 184

I have used a few of these in the past with no problems

The one on it at the moment is an ebay one, and the problems started when this was fitted, thats why I was after a genuine one.

Can anyone give me the probability of the MAF being tha cause of these problems? can the MAF actually cause the problems I have had etc?

I know its difficult to be confident, but you guys know allot more than I do.  :y

When all is said and done, this car would benefit from a drive to Nottingham methinks.

The really tricky thing with this is the car only plays up in a morning, its fine after work after being stood 7 1/2 hours etc, only plays up after stood all night so its difficult to show people what its doing etc.  :'(

That makes me feel a bit better about buying a new MAF but its still a risk i suspect. Autovaux have a genuine one for £107 (£107 I can't really afford either) and they only in Wakefield so I could pick it up today.

I think I would definatly shed a tear in the morning if it doesn't fix it though.  :'(

Plan at the moment is to look round some scrappers this aft but there aint that many around anymore.  :-/

Mate

Please listen to Mark he is trying to save you £80.

I had one of those he has told you about, paid £22 plus £5 delivery for it and it works perfectly.

Mark said already he had a problem with the same symptoms as yours is showing on Mike Dundees 2.6 and when he put my new MAF on it to try out the problem disappeared......

Dont know why you want to go genuine when the one Mark recommended to you is perfectly good quality.....??

Anyways, your choice

 :)

I know what your saying bud, but if it turns out the MAF is the problem then i'd be reluctant to buy another cheap MAF as the one that is possibly causing the problem is brand new.

Fair enough it might be a one off and i'm just unlucky that I got a dodgey one.  :-/

I have now put the original MAF back on which basically doesn't work and the EML is back on. If the problem in the morning has gone then its a safe bet its the MAF, if the problem is still their then the investigation will continue.  >:(

Hope all that makes sense!! lol

Have you given the cam sensor plug a clean and wiggle?
30 seconds sounds temperature related. Worth a shot mate

Thanks for the suggestion, I will maybe get that done at somepoint anyway.

Good News though, I started up this morning with non working MAF and no backfiring or splutering as it normally does. The idle was fine but when I put it into D the idle was a little unsteady as if it was going to bugger up but it didn't, just kept hovering up and down a bit. Car drove off fine without loss of power or throttle twitching etc.

My Conclusion - Need New MAF  :y

Only one decison left, Genuine or Made in China (lol)
