That's probably a little over the top.

I think the kits that have been sold here and there have been more like 8 or 9 feet, so if you were to go with a roll of 5 meters (that's what I bought, at least), you should be fine.

We are still getting used to these new meter units - so we tend to order more so we won't run short. Have you heard about them in Norway yet?

We kind of enjoy logic to our unit systems over here, so yeah.

I'm sure it's fun to measure things when there's 12 inches to a foot, then 7/8ths of a lanyard to a cup, and then 45 cups to a cubic hexagonal pound per 3 square feet, and so on, but I'll never get the hang of the imperial system. I like it when there's 1000 of these in that, then 100 of that in them, and then 10 of them in 1 of theses.

New MAF on order. I am only seeing 4-5 lines to replace, is this correct? Silicone or rubber? I went to buy 4 mm rubber and it seemed huge compared to what is on there. Am I on the right track?

Went through and checked all hoses and everything seemed fine. Pulled the p0102 and replace the maf. Swapped a Bosch for a Bosch. So far, so good. This was the first part that I replaced back in March. What are the chances that the problem was a faulty MAF to begin with and I just chased the problem back to square 1? Could there be something larger at play that is causing the MAF to fail?

Ive read some reports of people getting a string of bad MAFs but I never really understood cause. Otherwise, they seem to be reliable if they are true blue Bosch - (there is a lot of counterfeiting in these parts)

The MAF is still holding up and no issues have come up. I am just beside myself that I chased the problem around and replaced so many other things, when it was the very first part I exchanged.
