Hi all , as topic indicates, I am trying to find where the maf sensor is located , I've not been able to find a picture or video relating to my car and have no idea where this part is located.

The reason I am looking is because I have a high voltage engine management light which indicates maf fault,after some reading a lot of things I've seen seem to suggest it could just be a dirty sensor that needs cleaning which is why I want to try myself if it's simple enough before having to pay a mechanic.

Many thanks

You will find the MAF sensor between the air box and the turbo.

thanks for your reply, i'll be honest i still don't know exactly where it is and how to get the sensor out to clean, can anyone supply a picure(s) or guide on what to do.

i did try and remove what i think you mean stef but there were two visible screws but i still couldn't remove unit

As I'm not sure what to do,is this more of a job for a qualified mechanic? Will it cause bigger problems/damage if left?

Can you say what code your getting and what the symptoms are?

I don't have a 1.6 tdci so I can't even take a picture for you to help you out.

Sorry for late reply. Error code is p0103.

I haven't noticed any symptoms or bad performance etc , this code puts the engine management light on dash.

My 2004 1.6 TDCi has just come up with the same error code.

I'm pretty well convinced that my MAF is u/s because my diagnostic reader is showing a high air flow (196.4 gm/sec) that isn't changing at different engine revs.

When unplugged the reading changes to '0' and I can't see any bad connections.

The MAF, by the way, is the gizmo that's on the 1st short length of hose that's coming out of the air cleaner box.

There's a connection plugged into it with 4 wires in it.

Looks like a new MAF includes the short length of hose as well (maybe can't be separated)

With mine I have not noticed any lack of power or changes to mpg. When reading on internet a lot of people seem to suggest the sensor is at fault a lot oftime and usually just needs cleaning but I have been unable to determine how to get sensor out to clean
