PS - this isn't related directly to the thread here, but I still haven't worked out how to do the special 'Thanks' to forum members - please can anyone demystify this for me? lol

Hi everyone, I have developed a P0171 fault (system lean bank 1) with symptoms very similar to a problem outlined by Dave100 in posts #1, #6 and #9 in this forum thread http://www.micra.org.uk/threads/11571-Bosch-Micra-throttle-body?highlight=P0171 which was started way back in 2006 but seems...

Phew! Well have changed the MAF sensor and the lamp of death has disappeared - hopefully it'll stay that way! Been on a few runs today and up to thirty miles with no mishaps. Still had a slowish idle and a bit of vibration earlier which is improving after bunging a healthy serving of redex...

Do you know what size security key it needs Robb? Was going to buy a set but not sure which one lol

Frank and Robb - it looks like changing the MAF sensor should be a very quick job. Can you tell me if I have to remove anything first to get at the MAF sensor on the throttle body? The manual doesn't mention this specifically. It only mentions removing/moving the air cleaner and inlet duct to...

Thanks so much Frank!

Thanks for letting me know Noddie. I don’t know exactly where the throttle body is to check the screws holding the MAF in, but am guessing it is under the air filter somewhere? In Robb’s post above he refers to his 2001 K11’s MAF sensor and losing his star key set, so am reasoning that the MAF...

A quick bump of the thread :grinning: I've been looking around the forum but can't find any specific threads on the P0100 fault :blush:. I'll keep looking but if anyone knows where there's more info I'd be grateful. I still haven't found out where in the engine the MAF sensor is located...

Hi Robb, that's encouraging to know that you replaced the MAF sensor without needing to change the throttle body too, I hope this works for you! We both have the same issues I think with MAF sensor on the post-2000 K11. Haynes are very vague about any kind of repair and insist the whole...

Hi J, thanks for replying - yes I think you are right about cleaning - I got the impression from the Haynes manual that the sensor in an 2000-2002 K11 Micra shouldn't be cleaned simply because this option isn't mentioned at all, but is mentioned for pre-2000 models, but I can't be sure if...

Hi noddie, I hope this is the case - what bothers me is that the Haynes manual insists that from the year 2000-2002 the throttle body and MAF sensor on a K11 are integral so according to them I couldn't replace only the MAF sensor and solder the joints - well...to be honest I couldn't replace...

Hello! This is my first post so I apologise in advance if this has been discussed elsewhere but I couldn’t find much about the MAF sensor issue (!) – I think they’re the ones made by Bosch. Since the P0100 fault code and MAF sensor circuit malfunctions seem to be a common problem for other...
