Hi,
Was hoping someone could help me out, we just had a scan done and it says we need a new mass air flow sensor. Does anyone have a video on how to repair this? also a link to the correct part #, I found one on FCP euro just want to make sure it is the correct part.

Thank you for all of your help.

Keith

What engine does your car have? Turbo or non-turbo? A vin# helps or if you go to one of the dealer sites you can input the Vin# and then you should be able to find the correct MAF for your car. Either that or call the helpful folk at FCP and they will confirm that for you.

Did the repair shop clean the MAF or just scan and say it is bad?

There are dedicated MAF cleaners and that may be all in needs. Also make sure the connector is not corroded. It just needs a push on a clip on the lower side (if turbo) for the connecter cable (that may need a little flat blade screwdriver to lift it to clear the lock tab), and 2 x screw bands, a little persuasion to separate the end closest to the turbo, and then I think there may be a couple of T25 screws on the airbox end of the MAF. And then the reverse to reassemble.

Take pictures before and during disassembly so that you have a reference.

If you want to try cleaning the MAF, spray with the MAF specific cleaner and let it dry . Then re-install.

Neil.

Your C70 will have the same 2.5 turbo as the C30, S40 and V50 of that era if it helps you search YouTube videos.

If you follow air flow into the engine it’ll be right after the air filter housing here:
