Thats no Moon, Thats a space station!
Morning all,
My MAF decided to go tits up friday so my car threw up lights on the dash, disabled ESP and decided that keeping revs steady and not stalling whenever i took my foot off the loud pedal was no longer an option lol
So had a quick ring round the normal places to acquire a replacment. the Stealers wanted about £130plus VAT and then would give me £30 for my old MAF, TPS was about £10 cheaper and neither had a MAF in stock so would have to wait till monday.
So quick check on ebay and i still coudnt find a genuine Bosch one with the right part number for under £110plus P+P so went on Eurocarparts website and noticed that they were doing an Olympic discount code (see the homepage) so if i spent over £100 i got 25% off so did a quick check and after the discount for my old MAF the total price came out as £67 so a much better deal.
So reserved it and picked it up monday and chucked it on yesterday and cleared all my fault codes and its running better than ever now. Idles much more steadily and so far it looks like my MPG may also of improved as only done abouot 40 miles but looks like i am averaging about 31mpg which is a good 2-3mpg better than before. Which if is true will pay for the MAF in fuel savings in no time
Hopefully gonna get some more logging done soon as am keen to see if it has upped my performance too
