Hello i want to clean the maf of my e55 but i cannot get ahold of a can of maf cleaner, icannot find them here in my country but i readed on a thread that u can use carb cleaner?? is this true??
never had a problem with any of my previous car fitted with bosch maf's using electrical circuit board cleaner . In my opinion the only difference in it and a tin of maf cleaner is only the name
Yep FWIW decided to check my filters and MAF. When I opened the box the filters were K&N's and were dirty. Cleaned the filters out, and oiled them. Then got myself some of that CRC clearner ($6 @ Kragen) and sprayed the MAF.
Reset the computer, and took it for a spin... WOAH much more responsive and getting the christmas lights on!
Took off esp, mashed it and the car went sideways. It never did before.
So I say cleaning the K&N's or getting new filters and CRC on the MAF works!
