Hi to all,

Codes are correct.

Coolant temp sensor doesn't mean the car will overheat just means the ecu doesn't get the correct reading and normally causes fluctuating idle and problems starting from cold it is relatively cheap and easy to replace

Much cheaper than the MAF sensor!!
Change your coolant sensor then clean your MAF. Once that's sorted, clear your fault codes and see where you're at.....

Hi,had a look at where the coolant sensor is,think it may be easyer to do while iv got the MAF and pipe work of and out of the way.
Did you remove anything to do the cooland sensor....?
