Cleaning the MAF sensor of the Ford Focus MK3

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Checks and maintenance

If the engine performance of the Ford Focus has become irregular and starting is difficult, the cause may be a dirty MAF sensor. To clean it, open the hood of the engine, locate the sensor near the air filter, disconnect the electrical connectors and loosen the clamp on the outlet pipe. Remove the filter box, turn it over and unscrew the two screws holding the sensor body, unscrew the sensor from the bracket and clean it with a specific spray detergent. Wait for the sensor to dry and reassemble all the parts by reversing the operations.

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14.
