Default Have you tried cleaning it first?

What happened?

Someone posted about a contact cleaner that would work really well on MAF's. I think they posted it last week, but I can't remember the name of the cleaner.

S4 guys have been using 92% isopropyl (available at your local pharmacy) I think. Drop it in ziplock, swoosh it around, let it dry, and hook it up again.

Default I don't recommend it...

I received the $45. one by mistake. The air flow numbers were waaay low. Car would run ok under 1 bar. The sensor sucked anything above that. ATW motor btw.

Default Where would i find this LPS electrical contact cleaner? stuff?

VW wants $360 and i find that number to be offensive

What procedure would i employ?
