my car was running fine, nice and smooth,

 

lent a AFM to someone but went missing in the post :huh:

 

anyone after buying another one, its very spluttery on boost, if you nurse the gas pedal to boost its ok, but try accelarate hard and it holds back & splutters.

(like boost lea,k/missing sound)

 

im asuming its the AFM, the new/crap one i have has damaged mesh,

 

 

can i replace this? does the mesh really matter? or is it the sensor inside what counts.

Mesh has no bearing on function.

Its a coarse filter only

could well still be the AFM, mesh or no mesh it would still operate the same. Try cleaning the element (gently) with some brake cleaner or similar, then try it.

The mesh does alter (smooths) the airflow and does have a small effect on the AFM performance

Bit like the mesh they put on some water taps to make the water come out more uniform and smooth

ok, il spray sum wd40 onit later & clean with a tissue softly,

Try CRC contact cleaner. It's normally oils you're trying to remove

sorted :)

 

 

took it apart, straightend the mesh,

 

 

then cleaned the mesh with WD40 (soot all over it)

 

and sprayed WD40 on the sensor (quickly from a distance)

 

was nice & smooth then when went for a blast, and held boost nicely :)

(car hadnt been used all through december/january so that probably helpt)

how did you refit the mesh? does it just clip in?

na i didnt remove it,

 

it had peeled whered was damaged on 1 side, so straightened it out.

 

then cleaned the surface, which was dirty. (was thinking how people clean the sensor inside?)
