    They're a bit expensive to replace unfortunately, even though they are a 2 minute swap I haven't seen a price lower than AU$300ish and then you have to get it shipped here.
    Yes that is all correct and expensive parts- I am agree with you, but i would like first change maf sensor to see if is anything diferrent, and after than i will buy.
    Does anyone have spare one in Brisbane or Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast. I will come and just try to swap and see how is going.
    Any help about spare MAF sensor ... thanks

    Today I change my fuel pressure regulator. All same - nothing change. I am sure 99% is MAF sensor. But always is 1% for another parts...

    If you know of any VR6 owners up near you just PM them asking if you can borrow the MAF for half a day or so I'm sure someone is willing to lend a hand.

    Problem when starting after a few hours of driving

    Heya fellas,
    I have a similar problem, only happens after driving for a while, when I start the car idles for 2 - 3 seconds then it completley dies. does that 3 or 4 times, if you give it a good rev it sometimes it stays on the first or second time, very strange...

    -Checked battery connections and battery they were ok

    Any ideas??

    Cheers...
