Hello To all of our Great Subscribers!!! DO THIS EVERY 6 MONTHS OR 6000 MILES! Cleaning your MAF is very important as it will give you the info needed for the process to work for you. Quote of the Day: *Everything you want is on the other side of fear*
Another informative video. 6 months I suppose depends on mileage, in my opinion. People either don't know or don't care about cleaning their intake if they have direct fuel injection. It cost $200+ at the dealership to have done. But you can do it in your driveway in 15 minutes for less than $30.
Exactly doug, so if you are only driving 10 miles a week, this wouldn't apply, I say every 6 months or 6,000 miles. This process is very easy and does indeed save $$. Thank you so much for watching and for the input, we really appreciate it, hope you have a great week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I remove mine from the air box first. Its easier to spray off. its only 2 small screws and pulls right out.
Another awesome TIP for us to keep our cars running good and smooth. I've cleaned mine before, but not in a long time. I will have to clean mine soon and get on a better maintenance schedule. Mike do you have any kind of PDF that list all the regular maintenance items we should be doing on a regular basis? Thanks for making these videos. I always share the info with whomever I can. 😎
Great idea Edward! We don't currently, but we will see if we can do a video on that for you! Thanks for the view and suggestion, we appreciate it, hope you have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike
@@SweetProjectCars You're welcome Mike and I look forward to seeing the video, when you have time. Thanks and hope you have a fantastic week as well my friend. It is way too HOT here and I know it is down there too. Stay cool. 😎
Thank You Hoolio Caesar Chavez Rodriguez Jorgé Johnson Mass Air Flow!!!
Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!! 😂👍
¡Mi placer! Siempre contentos de poder ayudar a nuestros espectadores. Que tengas una dulce semana. Hoolio
Thanks legend. I did this on my sensor today. Before my car was idling at about 600rpm but jumping a bit to say 800rpm. After i cleaned the sensor it now idles so smooth i thought the car was off. Idles smooth now at about 900rpm. Can’t believe mechanics don’t do this as part of their routine maintenance.
Is this for every vehicle ? Even a 1994 Toyota pickup? A 2004 Honda civic and a 1998 Lincoln navigator? Edit : the G in navigator
It sure is nathan! Thanks for watching and asking, have a great week. mad Mike the hammer SPC
I'd do it yearly personally, BUT do use upto a 1/4 of the can & never use ANYTHING else! Don't touch the inside,don't scrub it,don't wipe it but do get it properly cleaned from all angles, we all know when anything kicks up a code we gonna spend money getting a scan done,so worth doing folks. I left mine to air dry for 10mins in the sun & all was ok. I'd say check or clean your PCV too with your yearly oil change so you don't forget. Baked on crud is real hard to get rid of.
You can do it 1yr/2yrs/3yrs if you want, we have just found that in our 40+ years experience, every 6 months or 6,000 miles you need to clean it. Thanks for watching, have a great week my friend. mad Mike
@@SweetProjectCars Most people with their busy lifestyle especially here in the UK find it hard to do it every 6months... anything at all every 6 months actually lol Yearly is just a more memorable time frame ie with their oil change. I like to change my coolant (Prestone) every 4yrs even though it says "Last upto 10yrs"....why does it say 10yrs on it,CRAZY! Coolant does help the thermostat,water pump,general cooling & any inside corrosion of the engine incl gaskets,leaving coolant inside doed become acidic. 8yrs is too long anyway, that's nuts. Hope my comments didn't annoy you my friend, just passing on info from over the pond. Peace out! ❤🇬🇧
Thanks Hoolio Caesar Chavez Rodriguez Jorgé Johnson Bucksnort!
Sweeeeeeet!!
¡Mi placer! Gracias por la vista, nos encanta ayudar y compartir con nuestros espectadores. Que tengas un dulce día. Hoolio
I used electrical contact cleaner because I already had a can. It didn't help and that q tip looking thing still looks dirty. Guess I'm gonna get a can of Mas cleaner and do it again
Hello from India 🙏
I have a Dec 2011 VW Polo 1.2 TDI 150000kms done till date with all the services done from , I have never ever cleaned my car's MAF sensor. Should I also clean it ?
There is no warning light on the meter
The answer is yes. Do it now.
My friend, if that vehicle has one, I would be getting that cleaned as soon as possible. Welcome from India, we have friends in India that contact us all the time, they're called telemarketers :) LOL Thanks for the view and question, have a sweeeet week. mad Mike
@@SweetProjectCars oh nice to know , can I contact telemarketers ? I know my car is a turbo diesel but the technicians at VW workshop say this car has a MAF sensor which they disconnect before replacing the intake air filter. Any suggestions would be appreciated 💯.
I do that also I'm glad they (CNC ) makes the mass flow spray.
For sure DFox! It's a great product! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a fantastic week my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC

With the air being filtered by the air filter up stream maybe every air filter change clean it!

Awesome! Glad we could help papo!! Thank you for watching and sharing, have a fantastic week and all the best on your project my friend. mad Mike the hammer SPC
Mad Mike, I got the giveaway sample this morning in the mail. Thanks!
Glad to hear it AFO1, and remember it takes half of a drop to lube most things, I would say with the same size container of lube it would outlast 3 to 4 of wd-40 or slick 50...so use it sparingly and that little bottle will last a long time. if you want more info check here in the future. tinyurl.com/bdf6a6ky
