Chrishawker86 Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think my maf has failed, so I've taken it out and had a look at the sensor inside, it looks like something has broke off but can't be to sure as I didn't know what it looked like before , could anyone show me a picture of a working one so I can compare, thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0B Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Wouldn't it be easier for you to put a pic of yours up and we will tell you if it looks knackered? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob- Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is it this bit that's broken? If not then it's nothing to worry about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrishawker86 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is it this bit that's broken? If not then it's nothing to worry about. That's doesn't even look like the one I've got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob- Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Is yours a diesel? The diesel ones are more of an oval shape. Same principal applies though. A wire that heats up and measures the density of the air passing over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0B Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 I think I may have an old one from my old 323 laying about. Let me go have a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0B Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 Ok, I found the old one from my current car (325) It's quite hard to take a pic of the innards, hopefully you can see enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrishawker86 Posted March 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) Here's the bit, if you see there's two blue tabs and II'm thinking that it's snapped in the middle but don't know what it looked like before, it's a petrol 320 Edited March 10, 2015 by Chrishawker86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B0B Posted March 10, 2015 Report Share Posted March 10, 2015 It looks ok to be fair. There should be a wire stretched between the two tabs front and back (so two wires). Mine looked ok but was still knackered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
