MAF - affected by flood water?
« on: 16 December 2008, 19:38:23 »
Would drowning resulting in a Hydrolock damage a MAF?
I ask on the basis that from other posts they seem sensitive to abuse
If a MAF was faulty on a Traktor, what would be the likely effect?

Yes it would.  Not so sure about effects on the tractor but on mine (2.0l) the car will have a tendency to stall, have some trouble starting and the idle will be all over the place.

Easy to check on trakker...

Unplug MAF, and use car for a day or so, plug back in and take for a drive.  If its more responsive on pick-up with maf in, its working.

The difference is subtle, hence why you need to drive it for a while unplugged.

Notice, being gay BMW, it will NOT bring on EML due to MAF unplugged - BMWs rarely bring on EML, as that helps improved perceived reliability.

The maf does pretty much bugger all on this engine...
