Mercedes E 200K W211 2007
MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) Cleaner

Dear All,


Thank you for this great forum, I had been checking the posts here for while by now, and finally decided to register.


I purchased a W211 E200K 2007 a couple of weeks ago, and here in Jordan this car is very expensive ($42K) due to customs .


Anyway, I noticed that the car is underpowered and it jerks a little bit, after replacing the old air filter element (which was in a very bad situation) and the Kompressor hoses the performance got better a lot. still I feel that the car is not driving steadily.


I scanned the car for error codes and found code P1072, which indicates a dirty or damaged MAF sensor. I read through the posts and it turns out that I need to clean the MAF sensor, noting that I don't get any check engine light or any other indication.


The problem is I didn't find a MAF sensor cleaner here in Jordan, instead I went for electronics contact cleaners, and I got a spray-bottle of the most sensitive one, it is used for cleaning magnetic heads for videos/DVDs/sensitive equipment, the cleaner web site is http://www.kontaktchemie.com/KOC/KOC...uct=VIDEO%2090
and it should be a reliable one.




Do you think I should use it or do you have any other suggestions?


Thanks in advance,
Suhail
