Hello Guys,
Im a total newbie, so please bear with me. My car has experienced loss of power (I seem to get it back when I turn the ignition on and off). I did quite a lot of searching on the forum of similar problems and I've come to the conclusion that changing the maf is the first port of call, so I've ordered a new part from Audi, invoice says part no. A038 906 461 C for 56.50.
Anyway, cut to the chase, I want to attempt to fit it myself (I dont know much about cars, but I can certainly follow instructions). Looking under the bonnet, it seems as though there is a ring on the left hand side that secures it to some hose (A), and then on the right hand side you have two philips screws into a box(B).
Is it a simple case of removing these items and replacing the maf...and then reapplying these items, or are there washers etc attached to the hose that I should be worried about?
Secondly, Ive had a look at the ring (A)...how on earth do you get it off...im worries if I apply too much force,I'll damage it.
Sorry to ask these questions, but like I said im a total newbie that wants to learn - if you dont aske you'llver know!
Thanks to all that respond.
