MAF sensor cleaning

Whats the best way to clean a maf sensor, what cleaning chemical / tool etc..?

Was thinking of using a cotton bud, but not sure what type of cleaning product to use?

Don't want to break it.

Cheers Paul

Cheers, i'll give it a go.

i used it on mine with no isues

as carlos said, use brake cleaner

but what ever u do dont touch it with a cloth or cotton bud or anything

i used carb cleaner on my nissan 200 and seemed to do the trick.
was scared of fuckin it up when i seen how much they where new from nissan !!!

no dont use brake cleaner for fuck sake , right this is a gray subject amongst most tecs ,
brake cleaner leaves a resedue behind which coats the sensitive components inside meter
use electronic contact cleaner only, if u use brake cleaner it will cause contaminants to stick and make sensor clog more frequent or fail compleatly.
remove sensor ,or flow meter spray contct cleaner from rear first then front , stand with air flow arrow pointing to floor for 20 mins to make sure all resedue has evaporated, then refit sensor , job done

i used brake cleaner on mine let it dessolve ne issues col

I use Isopropyl alcohol, as Col says you don't want to use anything that will leave a residue behind.

Decided to use Electronic solvent cleaner from Maplins.

Did the trick and left no residue.
