Application of the 200 ml air mass sensor cleaner

The correct use of LIQUI MOLY Air Mass Sensor Cleaner is crucial for optimum results. In the next sections, we will go through the individual steps in detail to ensure that you get the best out of your cleaner.

Preparing the components

Before you start cleaning, it is important that you switch off your vehicle and open the hood to gain access to the mass air flow sensor. The mass air flow sensor is usually attached to the air filter and may need to be disassembled by removing screws or connectors.

Once you have located the mass air flow sensor, carefully remove it and place it on a clean work surface. Care must be taken here to avoid damaging the sensitive components of the air flow meter.

It is important to observe the installation direction of the air flow meter to ensure correct function after re-installation. If necessary, make a note of the position of the sensor to avoid problems later on.

Carrying out the cleaning

Now we are ready for the most important part: cleaning the mass air flow sensor. The special mass air flow sensor cleaner can be applied by carefully spraying it on. There must be no direct contact with the sensor or the sensor can be immersed for more thorough cleaning.

After spraying on the cleaner, a reaction time of a few minutes must be observed. During this time, the cleaner can develop its full effect and effectively remove dirt and deposits.

After the reaction time has elapsed, the sensor should be wiped with a clean cloth. Take care not to damage the sensor and do not use a cloth that could leave lint behind.

Assembly and test run

After cleaning, it is important that the mass air flow sensor is completely dry before it is reinstalled. Make sure that it is installed in the correct position. A small ‘nose’ on the sensor and the corresponding recesses in the intake tract help to install the sensor in the correct position.

Once the sensor is reinstalled, make sure the gaskets are properly seated and the sensor is tightly installed in the intake tract. A good seal is essential for the sensor to function correctly.

As a final step, you should perform a test run to ensure that the sensor is working correctly and that there are no leaks. If everything has been done correctly, your vehicle should now run smoothly again.

Frequently asked questions

What does the mass air flow sensor do?

The mass air flow sensor measures the intake air mass, temperature and pressure of the air to regulate fuel injection and ignition timing and to comply with emission standards.

How much does a mass air flow sensor cost?

A new mass air flow sensor can cost between 50 and 284 euros, depending on the manufacturer and quality. Replacement and testing can cost around 100-150 euros in total.

What happens if the mass air flow sensor is defective?

If the mass air flow sensor is defective, there may be a noticeable loss of power, as the engine control unit no longer receives correct measured values and can no longer calculate the optimum fuel quantity. This can lead to too little or too much fuel being injected into the combustion chambers.

How does an AMM work?

An air mass meter (AMM) measures the air mass, temperature and pressure of the intake air and transmits the data to the engine control unit in order to regulate the fuel injection and ignition timing. The operation of the AMM is based on a ceramic element or a hot wire that is cooled by the air flowing past it, and this information is used by the control unit for further processing.

Can the mass air flow sensor be cleaned?

Yes, you can clean the mass air flow sensor by using a special mass air flow sensor cleaner and taking care to avoid direct contact with the sensor. Also avoid mechanical contact with the sensor. If cleaning the mass air flow sensor does not improve the situation, it may need to be replaced.
