Default MAF cleaning

What is the best way to give the MAF a clean, heard people using brake cleaner, however would WD40 do the trick?

Thanks

I used brake fluid/spray

Took about 15 sprays to get it cleaned up. Be careful they can break easily, much more so on a classic though

wd40 is a lubricant spray matey not really anygood for what your after, a brake cleaning spray would be better as it would clean and not leave any lubricant

Few things you can use.... Brake Cleaner, Carb Cleaner, Contact Cleaner will all do the job quite well....

Dont' want to be using WD40, as it will leave a layer of grease on the end of the MAF, which will scew readings.

All above available from Halfrauds
