How to Replace the MAF Sensor on a Ford Fiesta

Model: Ford Fiesta Fiesta 6, MK 6, MK VI - Years 2008-2017
Part: MAF sensor

Before you can start, open the bonnet of your Ford Fiesta. The MAF sensor is located inside the upper cover of the air filter housing. Begin by releasing and disconnecting the corresponding electrical connector. Next, unscrew and remove the two screws that secure the MAF sensor to the air filter housing. This will free the sensor itself. At this point, you can extract the sensor from its housing. Once you have completed this last step, you will have successfully finished the disassembly. To fit the new sensor, simply follow these steps in reverse, and you will have completed the replacement.
