Thread: MAF Mystery....

Figures are a bit low for flow ideally should be 50 at idle.

A clogged filter will slow down the amount of air the engine
is trying to draw air in.

The filter will also give diffent reading on your MAP & AAP if
it is clogged.

If you can get the nanocom when you have got a new filter
run the engine with old filter then the new record MAF MAP
and AAP values you will see a change in values.

If you are trying to diagnose the MAF you also need to see
what values you have at high flow engine working hard
about 4000rpm you should see approx 500/550 this will
show how the MAF is working across the rev/airflow range.
On a unmodified engine/ECM.

Cleaning.
You can get specific MAF cleaner from the same manufacturer
but be careful what you use it must be plastic friendly and quick
drying some differing options on what to use make sure its
dry before you switch ignition on.

That ad seems to describe a genuine VDO MAF at reasonable
price.

Cheers mate.
All the reading I've found has suggested mid 50s at idle is what you want.
Might have to take slunnie for a fang up a hill.
Will do the service and see if it makes a difference.

Other than price no,

Air Folw Sensor TD5 MHK100620 Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

That the one I just bought and they charge 12 pound post which takes 8 days to get here so value in postage as well.

Try cleaning the MAF first, then try the Nanocom again and also try it at 3000 RPM, gotta get a reading of 500 to 600 plus, then it may be stuffed.

Clean the air filter first.

Baz.

Interesting....
Driving to uni today it happily pulled past 4k, was VERY spritely up the hill, had a funny shift or two but I was varying the throttle input considerably going around corners very close to the kick down point.
Service kit arrived, I'm not going to mess around with it until uni holidays (thursday) but it's performing excellently for now....
Bizarre.

Italian tune ups do wonders for TD5's.

Is that where you drive them too close to the shore and put them on their side?
