CRC MAF cleaner
- Thread starter normality78
- Start date
in some spray ie carb spray; residue (a little greasy is requried/left behind when there is moving parts)
contact cleaner as the name suggest is used for sensors / electronic boards / diodes.
you can purchase the CRC MAf sensor cleaner (red can) as attached image & later compare with the CRC contact cleaner (blue). just spray a little on your hand. it should leave no residue & it will quickly evaporate (alcohol/methanol base i think).
because can is pressurized, hence when directed to the sensor (dont touch but 4"-6" away), it blows off dirts or contaminants that may have built over a period of time. more so with cars with open pods filters. pressurized cans do have a plastic hose.
though maf sensors will also eventually comes with a product shelf life. esp for tuners readings may deteriorate after some years (even with care cleaning). these were debated in some forums before.
if one cant afford to change maf sensors every 6 months (instead use contact/maf sensor cleaner), then change a new one 3-6years later.

So, u are hinting that the sensor clear will cost a bulk..?
Hmm... I'd say it's something subjective. Just like turbo. Got problem with turbo, Overhauling a TD04HL cost RM700-RM800. A second hand TD04HL will only cost RM500-RM600.
But buying a used TD04HL may have the same problem also cause it's used and we don't know how it's being used.

Sorry..? I mean I just dunno how much the CRC spray cleaner may cost. Cause the used MAF sensor will cost around RM60-RM100 depending on model/seller.
Could you please let us know roughly hou much would the CRC spray cleaner will cost..?
usually many dont change sensors like changing socks as cost can be exhorbitant for some cars. some tuners are (can be) anal about readings so after a few years they opt to change a new one.
maf sensors range under rm300 to thousands (well u know la some cars)

CRC can (bleu) = rm38+ onwards. depending on can size

I only manage to find the contact cleaner from ACE hardware. But i bought other brand cause the price only 1/2 of CRC. However, i noticed that the CRC alcohol content is higher. It feels cooler when sprayed on hand.
hence leaves no residue. evaporate fast.
by spraying at sensors it removes surface contaminants/dirt. try not to blast too close. there are some other brands contact cleaner (red bottle) leaves some greasy residue. NOT recommended!

But i curi curi tested the thing on hand... Realize that the CRC's have higher alcohol content. The CRC's freezes more. The smell reminds me of the VCR tape cleaner that everyone has once upon a time. lol
I bought the CRC MAF cleaner about 1 year plus back from a row of spare part shops around the Jalan Tandang/Seksyen 51 area. If u travel along F. Hway heading towards Sunway, you can see this row of spare parts shop on the left after you pass the 222 exit.
Of course there is no direct exit to the shops via F.hway but if i remember correctly; to get to the shop you will have to exit at 222, head towards Assunta hospital, turn right at the first roundabout (toyota topmark showroom) which is before the hospital and take the first right before Wisma Campbell and go all the way straight till the end of the road. The shops should be on your right. it was around RM40 only at that time. Hope this helps.
