Hello,



Just got out of the car and opened the bonnet to check if everything was okay and I am hearing the MAF sensor on the black pipe making a alarm/chirp sound when the car is idling... What on earth is it because it is freaking me out :( When revving the engine, the alarm disappears but when it goes back to idle, the alarm begins again!? Please tell me what it is so I can fix it ASAP :( Gutted, Just got the windows tinted and now it brings up a fault! -_- .. The sound is coming from the pipe which is connected to the air box.. There is the MAF sensor or some kind of sensor in the middle of the pipe and it makes a alarm sound.... When revving the engine, I could hear the turbo sound as if it is getting more air than it should and when sitting in the car, the car gudders just a little bit.. Has the MAF sensor died out? Can I remove the wire for the sensor and see if the noise stops while the engine is running?? Please reply urgent as I need to go and buy the part if that is the fault :(


Thank you very much.
