Hi all - its arrived - the dreaded replacement maf unit - fitted the unit with trepidation plugged it in checked all the other bits were in place - fired the old girl up and let her idle - seemed fine - selected drive pulled off and :D :D:D:D all working fine power there when you pull off...
-
hope this maf unit works when in get it - or where will this go ... from here for sale nearly good p38 nice to look at but has issues goes like a train if you unplug a few things....

Hi Dave - looked all over for one of these - oem unit £175 via bearmach - the 2218400 pierburg unit - no one can definitely say if the maf is naf ( excuse the pun) - with a fortune already spent on this car over the last month or so i'm risking £58 instead of £175 - although lots of...

here we go gave your suggestion a try --just went round the block --- disabled the egr took the pipe off -and plugged the maf back in---:ballchain: "stuff this" egr back in maff out :car: ...:crazy_driver:
-
ummmm no - hope this doesn't mean waste of £60 on a maf - or having to buy en egr modulator valve - gonna give it a try NOWWW -see how it goes:crazy_driver:
-
WOW these facts and figures are all too much for a numpty like me - lots of clever people on here - great to see - by the way i hope I'm not doing any damage to the lump under the bonnet running without the maf plugged in ( whilst waiting for the replacement to come ) BUT ITS GOING REALLY...

glad the filter change went ok - i now bow out on the pump / primer thing sorry for bringing it up - at least i will be able to change the filter without moaning next time -thanks for that ...one for wammer seen a maf on flea bay same reference as mine £58 probably try it - its new but i...
-
ok ta - will keep it all nice and standard get the air flow unit --- :)
-
not the argument - if it had a primer i wouldnt have flattened the battery trying to get the stupid in tank pump to push the fuel through - took so long to fill the filter that the battery gave up - lets have a primer - then the fuels there before we spend any battery life ... no brainer :amen:
-
Whoops :o - only trying to help - 5 mins to change the filter one hour to start the car one flat battery trying to get the fuel through . one jump lead assist from my old pajero . if i had a primer would have been away.
Imagine the scene - range rover runs out of fuel - wifes...
-
thanks all - what happens if i ignore the maf unit and pull the pipe of the egr - this will in effect disable the egr - stopping all the crap recirculating - i ran a pajero for a few years with a castrated egr ( someone took it off and blanked it ) that had no ill effects .. looks like...
-
i'm no expert but it is easy - but i didn't do it properly make sure to fill the new filter with fuel before putting it back on - there's no priming pump on the filter housing ( most of the jap cars have a pump to prime system after a filter change , these expensive top of the range cars don't...
