Never forget, the airflow sensor, is you're engines first and main sensor, when running of course. It changes everything, fuelling etc. I know you know, but just saying for anyone reading that doesn't, and disconnected, they always revert back to a higher value , a good way to test. Well done sandy. It's a perfect example of cheap shoddy Chinese parts. When probably the customer didnt want to pay originally for a quality genuine item. Well done for sorting it. Kind regards, kieren
Hi Sandy, egr system is turned off when any airflow fault detected as it can't monitor the flow accurately. I find it easier on these engines to use obd, I find the data a more familiar format to read and not ecu interpretation. Well done, another one fixed 👍
I saw this movie a short while ago Sandy. OEM MAF or nuthin. Can waste time, effort and money chasing other symptoms induced by skewed MAF values. People don’t wanna spend the extra dough (myself included) for OEM. So they spend money on aftermarket rubbish, then buy the OEM MAF when things go sideways. Where’s the savings? It’s a lesson often taught, not always learned. Cheers M8 👍
I'm having nightmares watching this video as I had one of those cars for 10 years!!! The only good thing I can say about it was it made me a very good DIY mechanic because I spent so much time fixing the bloody thing!!!!!
Had something similar today Sandy , 2014 vivaro 2.0 , keeps coming up air temperature fault, have ordered genuine air mass , as yes Mr Pierberg has been on this one too 😂😂😂, drives ming until you boot it , but that's the only code , changed heater plugs last week as faulty , done a dpf clean , rectified pressure pipe split , changed turbo pressure sensor (previous fault code ) our jobs shite 😂😂😂😂😂
Interesting that a pierburg part wasn't compatible, I always thought of them to be a high quality part. I recently went through a similar saga with a jaguar xf 3.0d. The map sensor had been replaced with a crap sensor from Amazon. It was reading but on idle instead of reading Barometric pressure 100hpa it was only reading 60. After smoke testing and fixing some small vacuum leaks the issue still persisted . As soon as the ignition was on the fault came back. Eventually I replaced the sensor with a good second hand Hitachi OEM sensor and voilà, no more faults and restricted performance!

Buy cheap = buy twice
Nissan are really picky about sensors being OE, although when it comes to MAFs, I'd say every car I've seen wants OE to be running right.

A bit of gamble, Sandy, but it paid off. Well done.

I think the pierburg name means nothing now 😂

I think it was a Chinese Pierburg🤣🤣🤣
