TD5 cylinder Balancing

Some contact cleaners include a lubricant for the contacts. I use Jaycar's Electrical Cleaning Solvent.

CRC make the product 'CO contact cleaner' in a blue and white can. This is what I use.

DO NOT attempt to use metho on a cotton bud, this can end in tears as the filaments are ultra brittle. One touch can cost you $300 odd :mad:

That was why I used carby cleaner... my electrical contact cleaner has a light lube in it. Not what you want for a MAF :(

I went to clean it today.

The MAF sits next to the airbox doesn't it? When I cleaned that I didn't see any filaments??? :confused:

Simon,

The MAF is in the tube between the Air cleaner box and the turbo. Disconnect the clips either end and the plug and then remove that short section of tube - you'll see the filament inside it.

Thanks for this!

Is it possible that I don't have a filament? It just has little metal thing on one side.

Just to add a little more, CO contact cleaner, is in the larger can, its flammable and plastic friendly, NF contact cleaner is non-flammable, ruins some plastics and leaves a massive residue....its well....crap

Both are CRC products and not to be mistaken;)

that sounds like an aftermarket MAF.
ive got 3 mafs at home 2 OE ones and 1 cheap imported one, both the OE ones have as described 2 sensor/wire strips between the metal prongs in the center of the maf, but the cheap one only has one. there is nothing between the second set of prongs.

cheers phil
