MAF Cleaner Spray

Got a few symptoms on the car that could suggest a faulty MAF sensor. Seen various tutorials on cleaning it with MAF Cleaner Spray.

I already have a can of WD40 Contact cleaner - is that the same thing? Don't want to waste money on a can of stuff I ready have but likewise don't want to use the wrong thing. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

There is also a product in North America by Kleen I believe that is specifically for MAFs. I think it's called MAF cleaner but now that Alex has suggested brake cleaner, I would go with that.......

Electrical contact or Brake cleaner are much the same,
the brake cleaner is always handy to have in the man cave. Thumbs Up

A little aside from the topic here.

Brake cleaner and a wire brush is also the best and cheapest BBQ cleaner you'll find. far cheaper than the stuff they try to sell you for this job.

I buy it in baulk from carparts 4 less, with there regular promo codes you can get it for about £2.50 a can.

Just thought I'd share that Thumbs Up 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep
