Not sure if I should carry a spare MAF or a tin of cleaner

Thanks in advance

yes its quite common, make sure you only use OE MAF's, the aftermarket cheap ones arnt worth the savings. delaminating intercooler hoses can also have a simmilar effect.

Should be part of your maintenance schedule .... I've been cleaning mine at every oil change, and every other 5k when I clean the a/f, I give the MAF a quick contcat cleaner spray as well.

If your MAF fails, it's not a show stopper, and you'll get home, as the Td5 will revert to default values. If you're away from home on a trip, you could take either/both. Easier I reckon just to clean it regularly as a service item.

Kev..

Thanks Guys I will treat it as part of the service from no on
