Give your MAF a spring clean!

....no not M**F, your MAF!

Just took my MAF off and soaked overnight in Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) and wow....much better throttle response. There are several threads on the forum on this subject......well worth checking out and give your S2 / RS2 a spring clean for not much lolly and little effort!

What i know is that after you take your key from igniton ECU will comand for 10 seconds the MAF to burn the wire inside your MAF from all the grease and anything else. IS pretty strange to feel an improvement.

That burn-off feature is just part of what the holding relay is supposed to do, as explained here (but the time is more like 5 seconds):

One theory is that its the cleaning and re-mating of the MAF connector that makes the improvement.
