It's 'Y' registered, July 2001. Only done just over 87000 miles, which appear to be genuine as i've got the full service history.

 

I spoke with Eurocarparts today & it came in new at £250....ouch !!! But i'll try shopping around again to check out exchange prices. There are some OEM MAFs on ebay for around £40/50........although i've heard there can be problems with non genuine parts of this kind....???

 

 

 

and yeah unless you find a cheap genuine one on ebay, avoid them

 

Can't get pic working. Shown on this link. http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/118911-maf-cleaning-and-possible-problem/" rel="nofollow - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/118911-maf-cleaning-and-possible-problem/

 

 

is the maf next to the air filter?

 

Thanks again, i'll let you know if it solves my stalling problem...

 

It sounds pretty straight forward, i just can't afford to mess it up......the cars just swallowed £307 in front discs, pads & a caliper !!!

 

I'm waiting to hear back from an ebay supplier who does genuine Bosch MAFs to see what he comes up with, possibly around £100 which sounds bareable.........just.

 

If i'm still stalling my way round Berkshire at Christmas you may hear from me.............thanks

think ill try elsewhere, thanks anyway

I'm still waiting for a price from an ebay supplier........will keep you posted.

Doesnt the MAF come with the sensor inside it?

 

Hmm, i may just give the 1.8 MAF a try..........................................

 

I managed to get hold of a MAF from a P11-144 that was being dismantled. It has the same code as the one i've removed from my car >PBT-GF30< however, the one from my car has a thin wire with what looks like a glass bead (not sure if this is the 'thermistor ??), which is not present on the replacement.

 

The guy i bought it from assures me that my car doesn't need this piece.

 

As advised, i disconnected the battery before swapping over the MAF.

 

For the first fifty miles the car has gradually improved.......fuel consumption massively improved, engine seemed to be happier, but most importantly the stalling stopped.....................................

 

BUT...it's now back to it's old ways !!!!! Sixty five miles done since changing the MAF, the engine management light is still on (was advised this would happen until it settled), fuel consumption is still at it's improved level, but stalling at junctions etc AGAIN !!!!!!!!

 

Any ideas gratefully received...........

 

I was wondering if the MAF might be a bit tired....but the guy said he'd refund me if any problems.

 

Oh well, back to forking out for a new one !

 

Thanks for the help.

Otherwise 1.6 MAF is £206 new (exchange reconditioned not listed).

 

Other brands? Just say no!

 

 

if so, i am stuffed as the lower star drive nut is rusted to shit.

ideas?

 

You can then use the good ones from the 1.8 maf.

 

Don't forget to move the thermistor over if necessary as Imckay carefully explained earlier in this thread.

one thing i forgot to ask was, what is the little black sensor looking probe that fits to the very front pipe that comes out of the air filter box to the front of the car?

 

Some cars have it at the front of the air intake and others have it on the MAF itself.

If your car has the probe at the end of the intake you will not have to mess around with the MAF, should be a swap without the thermister

Has the stalling problem gone?

Yes, but only did it once, maybe twice!

Is there a reset procedure?

:(

Must be a way of defaulting it?

 

Also, I would check before doing this.

 

My new MAF took a little while to settle down properly, but it idled and ran smoothly. It just revved a little higher without driver inputs at first. I do hope you sort it out soon.

 

....i ended up fitting a new original Bosch MAF specifically for my car (bought for £196.....as a birthday present !!!!). It has totally solved all the stalling/poor running/high fuel consumption problems. The car hasn't faltered since...i'd forgotten how much fun it can be to drive . Just waiting for the engine management light to go off now.

 

Would just like to say thanks for all the great advice given here...although i could have saved by going the 1.8 MAF route, you've still helped save money which could have been wasted trying numerous other solutions.

 

 

Stretched timing chain?

really?  can u explain?

Its mainly happening now in 2nd and 3rd gear at 1.75k rpm to 2.5k rpm.  I have to floor it to get out of the juddering zone.

When slowing down in gear at low revs it also starts to kangaroo and the rpm dial (when dropping) starts to jump down, as does the gear stick.

Even if holding the throttle/revs at the same level it judders...

If you have made a previous post in an irrelevant topic, that would explain why the post was removed - It doesn't help you and it doesn't help anyone else etc.

If you need to know what model of Nissan Primera you have, please see here:

And then either start your own (new) topic, or find a P12 one with the same problems and tag into it.

Many thanks and take care,

Please introduce yourself in the New Members section and post your problem again, giving all details that you have, in the Nissan Primera Help and Queries section. Then you will hopefully get people's ideas on what the problem is and what to do.

 

I think your engine is the same one as mine and I think that if I was having engine running problems changing the MAF would be the first thing I would try. I have a spare MAF and I have fixed a few paying member's cars now just by lending them my spare so they could see if it cured the problem (without them having to go to the expense of buying one unnecessarily).

 

Here in England we can purchase the original Bosch MAF as an exchange, fitting the new one and handing the old one in (for refurbishment by the manufacturer).

 

But post a new topic of your own giving all the details and let's see what people think.

My car, a P11-144 1.8 has a annoying problem, at cold starts if I don't rev up, the rpm drops and stalls. It went to a garage and they change the MAF sensor for an original Bosch one, the first day all ok, no problem at cranking or idleling, but the next day the problem started again, as well the engine light.

Anyone know what could be the problem? Also, could the shop put the wrong MAF? I searched and I found a lot of Bosch sensors, they installed this one:  http://www.mister-auto.de/de/luftmassenmesser/bosch-0-280-218-094_g3926_a0300!280!218!094.html" rel="nofollow - 0 280 218 094 , is the correct one? Anyone can confirm?

Your problems sounds more like an Idle Air Control Valve.

A faulty MAF normally causes stalling or nearly stalling when slowing down for junctions once the Car is warm.

What Year is your Car?

There are 2 different MAFs. They are the same but one has an Air Intake Temperature Sensor.

If you need the Temp Sensor (5 Wires going to the MAF Connector) and it doesn't have one you will get a P0110 Error. It shouldn't affect how the Car runs though.

It can also take a few days for the Car to adapt to a new MAF but you shouldn't be getting stalling from a cold start.

You could try disconnecting the Battery for 30 Mins.

The next day, I encounter all the problems I said above. And yes, when I reduce to go in a junction the revs drops so much the car almost stalls and vibrate.

I also hear a little whistle in idle (if I rev the noise disappears) that I didn't hear before all these problems. Tomorrow I will try the diagnostic to see what error the car gives.

I also record this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0MWUvbEGsM

I need to refer that all the problems started in one day. I stopped the car for about 2 months, it crank first time and for a few days no problems at all, one day it makes all that problems.

You can get a Bluetooth OBD2 Adapter that will work with Android and iPhone quite cheaply. Less than 10 Euro

Or a plug in OBD2 reader for a bit more 20-30 Euro

It is not easy to see if the bad running is due to a misfire or the low idle speed.

You can relearn the Idle Speed

Presume you are in Germany from the MAF Link?

Which looks like the right one by the way.

Oh, so that's the problem.. I tried an electrical wire, a paper clip nothing worked 

About que car and MAF, yes, I currently live in Germany, and i'm relief that the mechanic installed the correct one.
