Engine Service Required - MAF Cleaning
I'm in the middle of doing a service on our XC90 so I had some tools and MAF Cleaning Spray in the boot when the car lost power and the dreaded "Engine Service Required" appeared. I was on my way home from Plymouth when it happened, 4 times in total. The 4th time I decided to pull onto the services to see if it was anything obvious like a split pipe or loose connection.
Having owned quite a few diesels over the years I knew the simple things to check, fuel filter, MAP sensor, MAF sensor etc.. As the MAF sensor on our XC90 is easy to get to I removed it, shone a torch on the MAF element(small thin wire) and could see it was dirty so I grabbed the MAF cleaning spray out of the boot and gave it several good blasts. Didn't want to wait for it to slowly dry so I took it into the gents toilets and used the hand dryer. Fitted it back on the car and it drove home 200+ miles perfectly, infact I'm sure it feels better now than when I first brought the car. |

I've no idea.
This is what I used. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPT8rL0noYg I've attached a couple of PDF documents that I have for it. I haven't read them(yet), didn't really have time stuck on the services. Have a read, maybe it does contain "isopropyl alcohol". One thing I do know, its specially formulated to do the job and it definitely works, my car feels better now than when I brought it.
