New Bosch MAF, original MAF shat itself a couple of days after I got it back and been running with it unplugged since until yesterday. The new one was fine and lasted a few miles no probs till I went for an overtake, it kicked down and went into engine failsafe mode and gave me the P0102 code.

I've got a camshaft advanced code on bank 1 because the garage didn't re check the vanos after 2 turns but that's in hand and is mechanical so would that cause the airflow meter to shat itself? Besides that, no other codes and I wondered about the filter but it's been fine for the last 20,000...

Update, decided the air meter was faulty so swapped for another, no codes and running normal. Went out for a drive, went for an overtake and the gearbox kicked down, engine went into failsafe mode. Read the codes and it's there again, Mass air flow, low input. Any ideas? P. S. Saint, couldn't...

Thanks Saint, I've got inpa for my bmw so was going to try that. The lean system faults have gone away now but been replaced with a Mass air sensor low input fault. Gonna clean it with carb cleaner tomorrow and see how it goes. HC, no mate, still tapping.

Mine runs a cone filter so that probably doesn't help for the intake pipe. Screw the fire extinguisher, if it goes up, problem solved lol.

I've cleared faults but no idea how to clear adaptions. Suppose I need a faultmate for that? I'll get some carb cleaner and see what happens although the breathers and PCV were recently done so they should be Ok. Cheers

I had a MAF go bad about 2500 miles ago which caused the engine to misbehave badly so I unplugged it and it ran fine....... for 2500 miles! Anyway, I bit the bullet and bought a new genuine MAF and fitted it. Problem now is it seems to be not getting enough fuel and has thrown system lean...

Scrap lol. New air meter needed, getting lifters this week then it's going in cos it's too heavy to be down on power because of the cam timing lol

Got it, 2X = 6 cylinder bmw (20/23/25/28). Sorry, I read things sometimes that don't sink in lol. Thanks Saint. P.S. I'm still a bit lost on LGR100330 lol

My God, 2 n 6 with 31 free. I'm calling for an intervention, he's finally lost it lol.

Now thats a good find mate, thanks. Are you saying that the LGR100330 matches the BMW Part Number but for a 2X? Whats a 2X mate?

Best quote of the whole thread mate lol

Thanks mate, I only asked because LGR100330 comes up as an alternative part number to the BMW Part Number 113 214 402 56

Anybody? Could someone check this listing on ebay for me please. Item number 121825001021 Listed as MGZR 1.8 lifters but gives it as an alternative to LGR 100330 which I'm sure is the same part number for the 4.4 V8 lifters. Can anybody confirm this? Thanks.

I'm on it, thanks mate.

Bollocks, just gone to order...... Only 10 left in Stock, need 16 minimum. Bloody typical lol

Excellent find Saint, I'll get my order in. Looks like I'm going to be Guinea pig to see if cheapos work as I can't see them being OEM at that price. Think I'll buy allcoms and play with my suspension but if I had to blame one height sensor it would be rear left.

No, not got allcoms mate, I was thinking of getting it though, would probably be really useful. I've been told to drive over a really bumpy road and see if it settles it as the front was on axle stands for 11 weeks. I'm sorry for keeping you from your vanos rebuild, I'll get mine sorted asap...

Still waiting on opinions to cheap tappets lol. I assume you're waiting for the timing kit? Soon as I'm done I'll send it on mate BUT...... I'm not sure selling it would be a good idea, however, you are more than welcome to use it while I don't need it. Got a new issue now as well, it's...

Lol, thanks mate and you always came across as the knowledgeable one haha
