Thread: TD5 Low MAF readings....

It is running a K&N filter for on road use; do they damage the maf because of the oil?

any ideas?

This may be the problem, on our Gulf trip the car was using alot of fuel, we checked it with the Nanocom and found an MAF fault, I cleaned it and it was fine, I also changed the air filter from the uni-filter back to a paper filter and had no problem from then on, coincidence maybe, don't know, maybe I over oiled the uni-filter, but it was the first time I've had this problem with the uni-filter.
