IVE READ ON OTHER SITES ABOUT PEOPLE WHO CLEAN THEIR MAF WITH COTTON BUDS AND THROTTLE BODY CLEANER HAVE YOU EVER DONE THIS ? ALSO WHATS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COLOURED LABELS ? MINE IS PURPLE,AND HAS ANYONE TRYED USING NISSAN MAFS (SKYLINE 90 MM Q45 MAF PART NUMBER 22680 £60..SUBARU 90MM PURPLE LABEL MAF PART NUMBER 22680 £290)BIT OF A PRICE DIFFERENCE BUT SEEMS TO BE SAME PART.

Never tried cleaning it. But a new MAF for MY00 classic was about £80 if I remember rightly.

That was from a dealer too.

Yeah, its green, I cant remember the significance of the colour dot though.

The garage mentioned it but I really dont remember....sorry.

Did mine the other day as the wire was quite black, used a cotton wool bud probably not the best but i checked that no fibres were left on the wire, I have used Isopropanol on other cars .......obviously you need to let this dry fully

I cleaned mine with brake cleaner and cotton buds, fixed the problem for a while.

Opted for a Simtek to kill 2 birds with one stone.

i cleaned my maf today ,there was an instant improvement,but it was very short lived,about 15 miles then back to being fooked,looks like replacement is going to be the answer but £290 thats a f*****g joke.

mine was fooked last year, car cutting out as soon as i revved it, had to get a tow home.
cleaned it with a cotton bud and wd40 and it was good as new,
no problems at all

You should only need the sensor and not the housing, I beleive it`s the housing that`s so expensive as the sensor is only about £80 as mentioned above. Try a local motor factor type place for a replacement Bosch item.
