Maf element just broke

Sprayed my airflow meter with air to clean, and the element blew off.
Can I bridge any wires so she runs ok, until I have money to get a new one?
Please say yes.

Re: cone air filter

Thank you for the info. I wonder how others are able to run them then? I've seen loads of 330i with cones and ram air?

Re: cone air filter

Not bypass the meter, just removed the box and put cone on. I have a performance panel in my box, but the car doesn't like the cone? Is the cone working better than the box, with the amount of air it is taking in, and ECU not happy???? :noexpression:

cone air filter

I have ran aftermarket filters on all my cars, and after finding one in my shed, i fitted it to my 3.0i. It didn't like it at all. It started to stall, and then when i took it out on the road, threw up two codes, saying it had a vacuum leak. Has anyone else had issues like this?

Re: The rear camber problem

I don't corner like and idiot anymore. I always have the dogs in the back, so don't need the negative camber.

Re: The rear camber problem

What about a new hole, with 20mm wheel spacers at each side?

Re: The rear camber problem

I just changed my tyres, and they were on the metal wire. I can't afford to waist good tyres again. I need to get this sorted this weekend so how.

The rear camber problem

I have the nightmare of negative camber and after staring at it for a length of time.
Would it cure the negative camber with a longer top arm to balance it out?
And if this has been thought of, is there another BMW top arm I can use?
