If a MAF sensor is faulty is it enough to just replace the sensor and leave the housing?
Should I remove the housing and clean it?
Thanks.

get a genuine one, you will only kick yourself.... it will save pounds in long run .......trust meT:Thanks for getting back to me Emmett. Due to financial issues I'm stuck with either a bosch sensor or replacing the whole unit with a cheaper one (MAPCO). Why is it necessary to change the housing? What it's function?
I was originally just going to clean the whole unit like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX2Y44Np8VM but seems a waste of time from reading through the forum. I'll probably give it a go anyway though. I:
phone you local vw dealer..T:.How much would it cost for a genuine replacement MAF Sensor complete with housing please?.
My friend is looking at replacing his MAF sensor.
Are there any special offers available and if so please could someone post a link.
Thank You
Not all T4s have Bosch MAF sensors - mine has a Pierburg (fitted from new) Rasp:Make sure it's a Bosch
Experience on here seems to suggest that replacement MAFs fall in to 2 camps - Bosch & ones that don't work as well LOL: I'm happy for you and your PierburgNot all T4s have Bosch MAF sensors - mine has a Pierburg (fitted from new) Rasp:
Oh...and it works fine after 14 years T:
I thought the pierburgs were for the older model T4's - pre '96 or so.Not all T4s have Bosch MAF sensors - mine has a Pierburg (fitted from new) Rasp:

What cleaner did you use?I removed mine, cleaned it carefully and after that it ran 100per cent better !
Looks like they are later too - mine's a '98 facelift model.I thought the pierburgs were for the older model T4's - pre '96 or so.
I followed what was said on this site belowWhat cleaner did you use?
So am I!BTW: I got a set of 5 point anti tamper keys from a local autoparts shop.
I was surprised he had them.
So was he!!![]()
CAGE mod ?Also worth considering the "cage" mod (dielectric grease in the connector).
