Thread: Mass Air Flow Meter

Hi all,
Just got back from Roverland where Glen did the 160k service on the Disco.
I am now in the market for a Mass Air Flow Meter!
Now I don't need this little gold plated appliance immediately as I am on LPG but will need it to run the beast on ULP.
Two things:
Anyone know how to test them....... its OK, I am familiar with electricity and could test a second hand one, and
As I would be happy for a reco'd one (almost always on LPG so only used infrequently) anyone know a reasonably priced and trusted seller?

and it cost us around $500 all in same price as a reconditioned one here in oz except the one from the uk is brand new......

we were warned to stay away from reconed ones as they never work properly and ofter fail son after buying them

Reco ones are just ones that where pulled out of a working disco !!

I have not come across anyone that can fix these, either here or the uk, all are just tested and then put on the shelf. The only ones that can be fixed are the flapper type ones on the older engines.

Went though this exercise a while back, and the only options to you are 1. New one, or 2. Secondhand one (Reco)

I have picked up one off eBay before, worked fine, still working too... check the US or UK ebay and see if they will ship to Oz. Also ring Ritter's in Melb, they have some secondhand units there.

IMO, Haltech units are too $$ expensive $$, and most of the time need to be dyno'ed to get the best out of them, and dyno'ing isn't a cheap execise either !!
