Thx ya This little MAF sensor is the biggest pain in the butt on the cars. LOL

 

MAF at autohauz is 200.00 hehe

 

And even cheaper on amazon

I am still having this issue even after I had a Porsche Indy shop read the code. Said it was the front passenger abs sensor so I purchased one and to be on the safe side the brake pedal switch too. Drove for 30 miles and all of a sudden the abs kicked in as I was coming to a stop I was only going 5mph, and then not long after as I was cruising both ABS and PSM lights came on.

Going to another shop this time and see what code they pull but this is getting annoying.

 

Seems like that's a good idea have you ruled out maf?

 

Is that the same as the wheel speed sensor? Maybe you replaced the wrong sensor?

 

Same one.

 

Replace the Maf sensor. It sounds exactly like the symptoms with no codes.

 

Definitely have the codes read again. A good code reader will pick up a code if it is the MAF.

If it points out the wheel speed sensor again, it could be the wiring harness that is damaged; one of the other causes of this annoying error.

 

When my maf went the only thing that popped on was the abs/psm light at a stop. Replace it for 200.00 bucks and it never came back also the car ran much better.

 

That's my next purchase. I have seen some on ebay but are not Bosche but a generic brand....do I dare ask if they are just as good . One seller has sold 10 at $50.

 

There's a whole thread out there about the remanufacturered MAF or the generic non Bosch unit out there. One member swears by them , many others have bad taste in their mouth. I am in the process of going to the hitachi MAF and happen to have both a good Bosch unit (which came out of vehicle) and an aftermarket (never used). You can find either unit on Amazon for very reasonable price.
If this is your first MAF to replace , use the Bosch unit and you'll won't have to question whether what you replaced was questionable. This is pretty inexpensive of a part that is pretty critical to keep your vehicle running well, why compromise.

 

that sounds like good advice. but also i'm pretty sure i'm the member that uses the $75 refurbbed maf with success. at least i get called a member often so it could easily be me.

thing is.. my car has hybrids and a 1.2 tune and sometimes when i'm watching the road and not the tach i peg the rev limiter ( which is raised to 7200rpm ) and when i do, the increased voltage spike will fry the maf. if and when that happens ( twice ) i buy the one on ebay for 75 bucks and it works perfectly fine for me until i peg the limiter again.

i feel that after cpl of tt's and a few mafs over these last few years, i have kinda found what "works" for me and the car vs what "doesn't", vis a vis saving money. so..refurbbed mafs, yes.. cheap tires, no.

others' mileage may of course vary.

 

I hear you, that's why I ended up with going with the Hitachi MAF with my tune. The hitachi was about the price of a 2-3 Bosch MAF so the switch was almost natural.
