that's what i was looking for but soem of them said it's only the sensor not the whole thing :S

Just buy the whole air flow meter, get one off e bay, about 45quid.

ont bay it says something about just gettin the sensor part and no the surrounding cage.............. when i looked at taking just the sensor off it seemed to have funny screws...... how the fuck do i remove them :S

or buy mine, removed from a 55reg corsa C, fits the same

that will be the mass airflow sensor done loads of them get it from flee bay they are cheeper

it will require a new mass air flow sensor what has most likly happened is the heated wire elements in the sensor itself have burnt out so you will need a new one

Got no carb cleaner to hand...... would tissue or petrol do :o WD40 an option or would this feck it up :|

yeah that will 99.9% be a mass air flow sensor there easy enough to replace yourself just too clips an one plug

yep not reving up at all well especially when it's just been started.

So it's just a mass air flow sensor i need to replace.

Nothing up with air flow then:o

what are the symptoms i.e missfiring,cutting out. if the vehicel isnt reving up very well (very slow reving) then it will 99% be a mass air flow

P whatever (think P0105)
02 sensor low input voltage

is also a mass air flow faulty by the way

do a paper clip test, wont cost you a penny and see what fault code it throughs up. once you no have a good look round the offending part, if all seems well get another one off ebay to see if it cures the problem. if it does mgt be worth looking into buying a new item. main dealer will charge about £50 just to put your car on tech1/2 and tell you what fault code it shows. a paerclip is about 5p.

on the intake system, straight after the airbox, about 10c, by 5cm

get it pluged in FIRST and it will probly be the o2-sensor, if it is u have to get a gunuine vauxhall one else it just does not make a diffrence as i found out, they only cost around £30 to £50 not much at all and u if u have that done you might find that u dont need your mass air flow meter replacing

what engine - i have one for sale

Sounds like it could be the MAF fitting is very very easy, you can get a new one cheaper from ebay, have the car diag'd tho or it could be expensive.

what engine is it?

so they have diagnosed and quoted for the repair by just guessing whats wrong?

cowboys.

Just been quoted 120 quid to replace.

they haven't done the diagnostics test yet but think that's what it will be.

symptoms are ecu/engine management light coming on in 3rd 4th 5th every now and then following a loss in power.

doesn't rev freely when just been turned on either.

How easy is it to fit itself and price to buy?

does it seem a likely problem?:wave:
