Hi,
In my opinion buying a new Bosch MAF is a no brainer.
The cost of the Bosch MAF is not much less than buying a Synergy2 and a Pierburg MAF from Roverron.
They make a huge difference to the TD4.
You should be able to get a bit of forum discount hopefully, and the tools necessary to change the MAF too. He even includes the long reach Allan key for the air-filter cover if I remember correctly.
Price it all up and you'll understand what I mean.

Synergy 2 and the Pierburg MAF come from Rover Ron here. Tuning-diesels for low cost diesel tuning.
I think that the Pierburg MAF that Ron sells wont work without fitting the Synergy 2 as well.

I think Richard is correct - but you could contact Rover Ron directly and ask him - he's a very helpful type of guy.

Hi , sing lenth is 20mm
Thanks for that Ian.
I think I'll replace them with the 6 spoke torx screws from eBay.
Nobody seems to be selling the 5 spoke ones except by the 100 piece box.

Hi Nick,
I've tried all the settings on the 2a - the 'Jeremy Clarkson' setting of #10 is just not needed. After experimenting with the Synergy on motorways, mountain roads, and in general driving, I found setting #8 (high torque and medium power) to be the best for me.
I don't know what would happen to the injectors if you used #10 and thrashed the engine. I rarely rev much above 3000rpm.
The dash switch is great for economy - I drove about 7K using the Synergy without it, but after another 4K now find it is an essential part of the total Synergy package.
Being able to choose between higher power and the dedicated 'eco' settings at the flick of a switch is a great step forward as my FL fullfils the dual role of long-distance motorway cruiser and a 'load-lugger'. That of course is why I bought it in the first place.
Hope this helps you decide.

Many thanks Singvogel I'll try the 2A with the max BHP for £255 and see how it goes. Unlike you I only cover about 3000 miles per annum so doubt if it will ever pay for itself but having the extra umph should be interestingHi Nick,

I also had problems with the MAF after fitting the EGR bypass but this seems to have cleared itself (probably after shifting the build up of oil in the manifold)Cheers again
