MAF CEL - Reoccuring
So, my wife's A6 (2006 3L, Auto), has been getting the MAF codes every spring. I use VCDS to read them. I take out the Throttle body and clean the MAF with CRC MAF Cleaner. I Perform the Throttle body adjustment and the MAF is good until next spring. Well, this past week, the CEL came back again, 3rd year in a row. Coincidentally, before any of this started, she had the car serviced at the local dealer and the forgot to reinstall the plastic air flow piece that goes from the grill to the air filter so that car ran like that for a year. Anyway, why would the MAF throw codes and need cleaning every spring?
