Bugs on MAF screen - hint
A little hint for those (of us) who HAVE found little 'bugs' on our front MAF screens...How DO they get thru the air filter???
Well; here comes my hint; CHECK THE SEALING OF YOUR AIR FILTER AGAINST LID!!! Mine had a small gap (now fixed) and obviously a badly fitting filter WILL allow the little buggers to get sucked in, so to speak...Worth checking for your sensor wires' sake

I use a mirror to check the fitting of the filter when I have to reinstall it. If bugs were getting through, then certainly many other contaminants were as well. Time for an oil change. :eek:

That's exactly why I leave my screens in and recommend that more people do the same! :thumbs:
