2:51... that's the IAT (Intake Air Temperature) sensor.
Perfect video.
Great "How to" but can you tell me how to get that ring ( The one you separated with a screw driver) back on the MAF? It goes around but can't seem to clip it back in, I have tired so many ways, please advise...
A bit late I know but just in case. The ring has two small rectangular cut outs on each end of the bits that stick out. These have to be located on two little rectangular knobs that stick out the back of the engine in the right places. If you do not locate these into the little cut outs and get one or both stuck behind them as it were, you will not be able to tighten it to the point of clicking back in place. Found this out the hard way! There is also a U shaped bit that sticks out for a hose to be pushed into.
Stupid question but does the MAF sensor include the IAT (intake air temp) sensor as well because my engine (M112 - CLK240 2004) does not seem to have IAT sensor after lengthy search and inspection on the car.... Thanks in advance
Good video but I have a question ¿Did you adjust some parameters with scanner or is it not necessary? Or did you reset something with the scanner? I'm planning to do this, thanks!
nothing to reset, just remove, clean properly and re-install
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul thank you!
Nice work. While looking at that. That Mercedes, beyond that throttle body, I can see oil and black dirt inside. That means the Air intake manifold is starting to have a problem from that build up. This is a known issue with this type of design for this engine. The culprit is any of those black hose that connects to the down elbow piece or any black tube in this area that you pulled out to clean and had mention there is crud on it. If you want to do your buddy a favor on these Mercedes with this type of design. You want to check out installing an OIL CATCH CAN. It will not fully stop this build up, at least it will create another line of defense before that oil fume start carrying into that air intake manifold and crud it up. The end result of this build up will cause the plastic flaps to get sticky and hard to move. This will end up breaking the front part of this air intake where there are vaccum controllers that are made of plastic to break. Of course, due to the oil build up, oil will start seeping out these area and also cause an oil type leak and also the dust in the engine bay will clog up the plastic that controls the flaps and soon it will break off from the stress. This will create a failure code and by then it's too late to do any repairs, as this whole air intake part needs to be fully replace. This does not just affect a particular year and make on a Mercedes. Pretty much a lot of models uses this type of air intake. The crazy expensive part and the labor intensive work to get to that air intake manifold is what breaks the bank. Even if we have that kind of money to burn, it's still a crime to let this happen. Question: How do I know, well, I have a Mercedes that dated back when this type of air intake is install and many of the cars we had earlier had all of the same problem developed. It takes years of build up to a point where this replacement is needed. So why not, stop or slow it down to a nill for your buddy Mercedes owner. Look up Mercedes intake manifold replacement and you will know what I am talking about. I trace down where the source is and it's these black hoses that comes from the pcv & valve case vent (all these vents that push out oil fumes and line is design to release the pressure in the engine). However, of course with a price. I am not sure if you want to just disconnect the line, as these lines needs a vacuum to properly work. It's too late for my car, as this issue was not realize until build up has occurred beyond what can be prevented. I am just in the wake of waiting for the dreadful engine error or a broken Flap controller to go down that path to change out the whole new air intake manifold.
helo do you have a video how test if the MAF IS BAD or does not work?
Many thanks - was experiencing problems with poor idling on an older E320, straight six. I wonder if WD40 or equivalent will work? Our local suppliers may not stock that specific MAF Sensor Cleaner.
STAY AWAY from using WD 40. It will damage the MAF sensor. You can use electronic contact cleaner, but
MAF cleaner is definitely your best bet if you can find it
Thanks....😊
I am going to try this if it works you will be my lord and savior
I’ll be back with an update
This will work on 95 mercedes s420
I'm having an issue where, after shifting gears, the car "pulls back" ( like a downshift ) checked pressure, sensor, etc and nothing shows up. Any idea? Thanks in advance
not sure I ever heard of this description issue. Have you tried someone else's Crossfire so that you can compare?
Is it ok to push the Butterfly on an Electronic Throttle ?
yes
hi, can I use electronic cleaner if I do not find MAF cleaner?
yes, they are basically about the same thing, both leave no residue after spray,

Thank you friend
I did this clean up on my C200 CDI w203 estate version. It limits me at 3000rpm.... diagnosed the car and it read the MAF sensor as a constant fault. What should I do? I cleaned it in the past but never had this problem.
sounds like it's time to change out the MAF.
I had some welding done to my exhaust and after a month i started having problems with the airmass sensor on my CLS500 , i changed the airmass and it was fine , a couple of months into it i started having the same symptoms of the bad air mass sensor again , should i clean it or is it due to the exhaust work done or should i just go ahead and replace it again ..?
always start with the simplest, easiest and least expensive fix 1st, clean the MAF and TB then go from there
If the locking clip is missing can that be the problem of my clk 240 engine doesn't iddle oke and holds in?
yes indeed
@@CrossfireRepairsByPaul oké thnx I thought it didn't becouse there is noting underneath the ring
I'snt there an O ring to replace? Thanks BTW I just bought a 2007 47k miles
Facts i used silicone
This is how the MAF works, its like a light bulb filament, very sensitive, it has a enamel coating, which can easily be dissolved, if using the wrong cleaning chemicals. If you don't want to buy the proper cleaner I would try rubbing alcohol, but, at your own risk! ? How it works , It heats up just like a light bulb filament and when air blows over it cools down sending a resistant signal to the computer.
Do you have to buy new one or just clean it ?
You can try cleaning it and if that works you could get more life out of it, but eventually there comes a point that you will need a new one.
Is the Facebook page still up and active
yes
I have C55 C55 AMG I no mind of someone can help me ship it for me to Nigeria
