MAF sensors

I tried cheap and it didnt work. I will try and find who I brought it off. Had to drive to Romsey with a dodgy running car and changed to a Genuine one in there car park. Cost more than Rimmer Bros. Think I paid $280ish. Ran like a dream since. Well except for the blocked cat converter and oil in the injector loom.

Yes I have used Rimmers, very reliable:

is it a trickey part to replace? Im about had it with my mechanic who cleared my MAF after my reqeuesting he check it, then turning around today (3 weeks later) to confirm it WAS maf faulty and me owing 358 in labour (without even the part in) for all the work he has had to do to track down the fault (that I told HIM about, the first week, after your input in my thread)

I'm about to clean my MAF this weekend with crc maf cleaner so will report back on how hard it is.

My understanding is its quite simple (or I would not be attempting it).

I too can confirm Rimmers are very good.

Cheers, Jerry

Is your disco TD5 or V8?

As the TD5 one takes about 5mins while talking. And if you want I can swap my good one out and you can try it since your in Bendigo.

V8
Had confirmation, he happened to be working on a rangey Friday. Swapped his in to mine (mine ran great), put mine in to the other car, it ran ****
Mystery solved.
Thanks again

my mafs been disconnected for 12 months now its on the gunna do list one day, every time I look into it I get confused too with the oem stuff.

One plug connector and two hose clamps, beware of the small brittle radiator hose.;)

Well took mine out and I,m a novice but no more than 5 minutes.
