can't for the life of me find them again, but read some recent posts of treating the MAF as a serviceable part (ie. scheduled changing) and quotes of mileages when a MAF should be changed.

is this the case, or is it not really something to worry about unless it goes wrong?

i've got a MY99, on original MAF and 38k, no problems at all with it from what i can tell, just wondering if it is something i should look at replacing in the near future?

cheers

Hi, I've just replaced mine at 50k on my MY00...don't think there was anything wrong with it, but I've come to regard them as a service item after reading some of the horror stories on here about them gradually leaning out, causing blowups. At £77 from the main dealer, and ten minutes to change it, if you've a sniff of a reason not to trust it, it's no real expense if it sets your mind at rest, even if you do this once a year. If you want to get an idea of your current mafs health, do an ecu reset....if there's any issues with it, the car probably won't tick over/run right afterwards. As an aside, there'd be no harm in changing the lamda at the same time, as these also are regarded as having a " lifespan ".
