Just had fitted today its 2nd MAF on my 2007 GB270.

First one failed at 20,000 miles and it was 12mths ago - August and today at 39,890 miles its gone again ?

Never brings on the engine light though !

There must be some kind of problem been masked by these failures any ideas ?

 

Standard car?

 

any mods?

 

Only mod of any importance to this fault is a deresonated centre section exhaust

Only other mods is to the suspension

 

no ind kit, or DV then??

 

in all fairness, once a year, 20k aint too bad, mine failed 3 times in 4 months, so I had a simtek mapped and fitted as it was getting stupid

 

No kit, no dump valve ?

once every year ? Surely not on the new 2.5 ?

 

Watched the guy doing the fault investigation on it when it was on the standard Subaru dealership laptop and when he was revving it up to 6,000 revs there was a small flat plateu where the fault was developing then it would carry on up to its normal peak.

Dont know if that means anything to anyone on here ?

No fault codes either and he also did a throttle pedal reset that made no differance so the MAF was then changed

 

Yeah, it explains why it was replaced in a context where you weren't getting a check engine light.

As a matter of interest, why was the garage investigating in the first place? Had you actually noticed the car driving wrong?

 

Yeh, felt the same symptons as last time so got it booked in straight away which was good.

 

What were the symptoms? Hesitance/odd noises under boost?

 

Hesitance, only mate, can't say I noticed any strange noises.

 

Someone as mentioned there is a software upgrade that can be performed by the dealership.

I will give them a bell today as they had never had to change one on a hawkeye before and couldn't believe that this was its 2nd one.

Nige.

 

Hi Nige - it is a different throttle map that they can load on.

 

should be under warranty for 2 or 3 yrs, dealer told me this when i bought my second in a matter of months. But when he asked is there any mods, i just had green pan at the time NOT COVERED sorry.
