Jon is right
It's the expensive meter that is creamed when you fit a none standard filter and coat with to much oil on the wrong side
So be carefull

ACHTUNG,

some dealers try to sell you a new one (£300) saying it's broken.

Sometimes, the MAF is only dirt with oil filter : you can clean it yourself with caution, thus saving hard earned bucks !
