Cleaning the Mass Air Flow Sensor

Model: Jeep Cherokee KJ, MK 3 - Years 2002-2007
Part: MAF sensor

The mass air flow sensor is a flow meter fitted to many engines to measure the amount of air drawn into the engine. Remove the sensor from the air intake, taking care not to drop the screws. Due to the delicate components of the sensor, clean the inside of the flow meter with a gentle stream of air, or better yet, use a small vacuum to prevent dust from penetrating deeper. Clean the exterior with a clean cloth dampened with a light deoxidising fluid. Carefully refit the component by reconnecting the connector and check the proper functioning of the instrument.

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. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
