Hi all, as you can see am new to this forum site. Heres hoping that someone can help me. My problem is as follows.

I own a Volvo S40i 1.8, with a Mitsubishi GDI engine, 1999 (S) Reg.

My MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor is playing up. however i can't seem to be able to find a new one through Volvo Forums and Spare Part Sites.

The information in have on the current MAF is via a sticker on the top of it, it says that its Mitsubishi and with thefollowing numbers:

481
E5T008271
8911

what numbers these relate to i have no idea.

I also have a problem with the throttle position sensor, but i think the MAF is causing them both to play up.

Any thoughts or help on this would be great, these a pint in it for anyone that can help.

Thanks

 

Have you tried a parts house?

 

excuse my ignorance, but i do not know of any - can you suggest for me. thanks

 

lol not ignorance bro, i dont know any either, but have you tried just a local auto store for the parst?

 

Not from the US... so US advice doesnt help.

Honestly, Volvo will just **** you about.

If you cant find one in a local scrap yard, then i would say getting one from a Mitsu or Volvo dealership is your only option. Installation is super easy.

 

Thanks for all help guys - think i've managed to get sorted - sorry to say mitsubishi where bloody useless and didn't want to know, Volvo were great.
