Cleaning my MAF. Dinan CAI..

[Jdudley13]

Sorry for the newb question, new to BMW's and I really don't want to mess something up already. Around 50k miles and i'm sure its never been cleaned..

'03 325i sedan. Have a Dinan CAI and want to clean my MAF. Does anyone have pictures? Or suggestions?

To clarify...How do I get it out?

Nevermind. Found a thread on M3 forum.net that was similar.

CRC is the stuff to use. They make a cleaner FOR MAFs. You can probably get away with other stuff just be careful.
I can order the CRC stuff for people if they want or just stop by and I'll clean yours FOR FREE> that's the deal of the year.
Always happy to help out the Bimmer locals
