Clean your Air Mass Sensor !!!!!

[beefeater]

Hello everyone I'm a Forum newb!

Do any of these sound familiar:

• Unstable idle
• Hesitation between gear changes
• Flat spots
• Engine speeds up when you lift off - yes really !
• Throttle 'hangs' between changes
• Missfire above 4000

Well. I've scoured the forums for something definitive on all the above which have plagued my s/h (125 k) A6 1.8T Avant (petrol) since I bought it a year ago. So I finally bit the bullet, took out its Air Mass Sensor (often referred to as the MAF) and cleaned it.

What a transformation , it finally feels like the car I always thought it should have been !

Want to know how ? reply to this thread, it took me about an hour.

Cheers !

I would love to know how to change/clean the MAF on my 2.6 a4. Any help much appreciated.

Best wishes.

You can’t clean the Air Mass Meter on an ABC engine, they do not have one.
