Does anyone have info on best way to clean MAF?

Type of cleaning agent, techniques, do's/dont's, etc.

I tried this on my A4. I washed it in 90% isopropanol. Put it in a large zip lock, added the alcohol, and shook away. It didn't work.

Then, I tried a special pen (from Radio Shack) to clean electronic components, and I managed to rub a little too hard, and broke one of the two wires in the heart of the sensor.

I searched local junk yards, and found a sensor from a wrecked Jetta (compatable with the A4).

So my advice would be to get a new one from the dealer or a reputable seller.

Good luck! Let us know what happens.

and let dry very thoroughly before re-installing. Electronic tuner spray can be found at Radio Shack or other electronic parts stores.

well protected which makes it hard to reach and clean effectively.

Chances are you'll just break it. Doesn't Audi sell rebuilt ones now for a much lower cost?

soak it. The lower purity stuff (70%) has too much water, so don't use it. YOu could also try some spray on electronic contact cleaner.

he's right, it is hard and cleaning the MAF rarely works. Usually, the cleaning is insufficient and the sensors rarely work properly anyway. There was a recall for these for a reason...they're fragile and can't be fixed as easily as you think.

Now if you're going to act like this to respected members of this forum you should go f*ck yourself and get away from here.
