2 maf sensors in 2 weeks
Really annoyed now. I have had a new maf sensor fitted 2 weeks ago and now on my way home it's broke again. Is it possible the manual boost adjuster or dump valve has caused this? Going to fit a recirc soon as my new samco hose and recirc valve

Mafs were new and it's a 2000 version 6 type r. I know they bad for them but surely they shouldn't be that bad. And no it's a standard air box just with a better filter that's all. Cheers

Maybe double check the filter is seated correctly in the air box and if its a oiled filter make sure its not soaking with oil. Check the plug connections to the MAF and make sure the terminals are clean and fit tight together.

Used to have a v5 sti and i replaced mine every 12 months just for piece of mind.
where they from subaru?
As there are alot of fakes out there which do fail after a week.
Is it a CEL light thats telling you its the MAF btw?

Filter is seated and not soaking in all and all connections are as they should be.
Was a new maf sensor from asp up this way so I am sure he will know what he is selling.
I wouldn't mind changing it every 12 month but not every other week

I hardly use the anti lag it comes with switch. If you had it on all the time it would destroy your engine. A had loads of bother with mafs until a fitted the simtek
