Learn how to properly diagnose a Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor failure, and get step-by-step guidance on replacing a bad MAF sensor with a new MAF sensor.
Most people don't understand how a MAF works (its an anemometer), cleaning isn't recommended, the circuit that decodes the differential signal from the temperature sensors eventually drifts out of calibration range due to aging resistors, calibration trim potentiometer and general age wear and tear. it's recommended to just replace it based on the service interval. cleaning is a short term fix.
"We don't recommend cleaning the maf sensor" Well of course you don't. Buy a new sensor from us, we want your money. Next time your car gets dirty and you can't see out the windows, either buy new windows or buy a new car.

Can any of you PLEASE tell me what the LONG TERM affect would be of driving a 1993 Lincoln Town Car without the Mass Air Flow sensor plugged in? Please reply, thank you.
Hello Mister Smith, we would not suggest operating your vehicle with out a functioning MAF sensor. The vehicle will not run optimally, you could experience misfires, poor fuel to air mixtures in the combustion chamber and poor fuel economy.
Hi, I've replaced my air filter yesterday and since then i am getting fault codes P113 and P0104 for my Citroen C4 1.6Hdi 2006. I also have given a light brush to dust out from the MAF Meter. anyway, assuming that i've damaged the MAF Meter, I replaced the new MAF Meter and it gives me another new fault code which is P0401 along with other two. I have deleted all the fault codes waited few minutes and ran the diagnostic again but guess what fault codes are all there...so can you suggest me anything plz.
Hello, on the maf bosch 0 280 218 250 for focus Rs mk2 , the hot film is inside, much like the one you see at 30 seconds in your video? thank you in advance for your help
The sensor in the video is not exactly the one you are asking about. Bosch recommends that if you need to know that you should order a sample of the actual product, so you can investigate.

Ok, how much is the "0280212025" code air flow meter in USA? I want to compare the price here. I found the piece on the link you sent me, thank you, but I know what part I need, I just need to find it. Like I said, there are fake ones and I dont wanna replace it with a fake one. I may need to import it from some country or even USA.
I have a 2002 VW Jetta TDI and the sensor went bad but the computer never gave any codes or engine light. How is that possible? Oh and I don't like how I got ripped off on a new sensor when the car is a diesel. $150 more because it's a diesel, come on.
Hello. If you can answer these questions, it will help us in responding to your inquiry. What is the year, make and model of your vehicle. Also, what is the application for this sensor?
@@BoschAutoNA- Well in my case it would be on a 2006 VW Passat 2.0l Tdi diesel with a BKP engine. As for the last question, have I really got to tell Bosch what a mass air flow sensor does?
Hello Ashanta, that's a good question. We're sorry to hear that you're having questions. Please visit this site to find your local Bosch Service Center and get a proper diagnosis: www.boschcarservice.com/en
the problem was buying a car that Bosch has a monopoly on it's weakest link. let Hitachi or Denso introduce their version and we'll never hear of MAF issues again

Denso makes better O2 and MAF sensors by a large margin. Bosch is just overpriced mediocrity on its best day

For this vehicle, the instructions are to clear the codes with a scan tool but discounting the battery and letting it sit would also work.
@@BoschAutoNA can you tell me about bmw 535d 2006 272 hp should I register and adapted the new one because the car has the same issue with new one.
my bmw x5 2001 shakes when i start it and then shuts off what is the problem..? is it a MAF?

Is it safe to clean sensor with special spray?
You have to take the sensor housing off and spray and let dry for 30 to 44 min
Had a problem with my vw golf4 2.0 kept stalling when ever i stopped at the robot and found out the MAF was the fault
