Hi, air flow meter required for a 99 reg type RA. I had a new one from flat4online 4 months ago and its failed already!. its sunday and im pacing up and down just wanting to get out there and stonk it!, but i cant.

Anyone got one, not too far away from south east kent?, i can get to you via vauxhall astra power!.

Are you running an induction kit? these normally last a fair time before dying.

Hi Tony, yes a HKS. The engine wont rev up with the brand new (4 months old) one, so i tried my old MAF back on and it revs up but irrattic idle. The irrattic idle was why i got a new one. I was hoping to be back on the road today as I use my scoob every day to get to work.
A new HKS triple layer foam filter was installed same time as new MAF.

Thanks Tony.

I would ditch the HKS induction kit......99 mafs are prone to failing but should last longer than 4 months.

Thanks for the advise rooferman, any suggestions as to an alternative?

Alternative is to go mafless on these years, i.e. with simtek.

Or go back to standard airbox if possible to give the MAF a bit easier life, but they're a bit prone to failure anyway, and definitely more prone with induction kits.

Or you could get a z32 maf and have it mapped to suit.....

Ive never had any problems with K+N cone filters and also Apexi seem a popular choice....Powertec do a completely dry stainless kit that i have heard good things about.

It is important to get the induction kit fitted well and have it fixed with the correct brackets as vibration is also a destroyer of my99 mafs

Thanks very much for the input rooferman, some interesting points there that i will look into.

pooeater, thankyou for the offer but its a bit far, although would you be interested in sending one (or both if they are surplus to you) down to me, price to be arranged etc, as it would be a good idea to have some spares for future use.

Thanks fellas.
