Thanks

Just disconnect it.
The vehicle will still run fine.

The vehicle will assume the mix needs maximum fuel.

Bollix, it will immediately jump to a stored map which is so good it proves that you don't really need the MAF. This is very well known among peeps who own TD5s.
i have been running with my MAF disconnected for about 3 years now.
So check your facts then shut up.

Default is to use maximum fuel.

Hi, in a nutshell: it depends, the only mechanical thing which must be done if you want to get rid of the MAF is to bypass the EGR and in this case:
1. if it's Eu2 engine(10P) the MAF becomes useless so the engine will run the same with or without it
2. if it's Eu3 engine(15+P) a remap is needed for best performance but the engine will still run well just not at 100% capacity as it will behave like an Eu2 one

Incorrect as well but i'm not gonna' go into this here cos it's a long story, better learn first then make such definitive statements

How do you get the MAF wet while laning? Are you sure that's the problem?

This is another issue I’m in the process of s

Indeed it's not.

But if he's getting the air filter wet at all while wading then he's got other stuff he should be looking at before removing the MAF.

this is another issue I’m in the process of sorting how can I make the air box more waterproof I’ve got a snorkel but it’s still coming in through the air box

Take the airbox out and have a good look all round it, it has another hole at the bottom and various other places, I don't think it is designed to be watertight to that extent!

Check the drain on the bottom of the airbox and seal it up, also the flexible pipe between the airbox and the wing.
