No, not yet. I was a bit short on time as I had to go out for a couple of hours. I'll have a look at that tomorrow, though & report back. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!

Be EXTREMELY careful cleaning MAF sensors as they are fragile, this isn't what the DISCO3 thread was about or what Nick started this thread for. |

Spraying lots of the brake cleaner stuff seemed to be enough. The stuff that came out as I was spraying was a bit dirty. I held it over an old white plastic tray to collect the run-off.

Martin. You're right. The original topic was about MAP sensors. I seem to have taken later posts and gone a bit off topic. Apologies.

I've been out and cleaned my MAP sensor today. It wasn't particularly dirty and my car has 33k miles on the clock. It's a dead simple job, 5-10 minutes, unless you drop the screw whilst replacing it |

I gave it a squirt of brake cleaner up into the sensor tip and wiped the outside with a rag. I was mindful of the solvent brake cleaner on the 'O' ring. You could just wipe around it with a rag. I didn't poke anything into the tip because I couldn't see into it, and didn't want to damage anything. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!
