MAF Delete

Individual ECU Options · £20

Removes mass air flow (MAF) sensor dependency from the calibration.

Every job starts with a diagnostic check. Suitability for MAF Delete is always confirmed against your specific vehicle before any work is agreed.

What is MAF Delete?

The mass air flow (MAF) sensor measures the air entering the engine. This option removes the calibration's dependency on the MAF sensor, for setups where the sensor has been removed or relocated.

Without a MAF reading the engine management relies on other inputs to calculate airflow, which can affect drivability and emissions. It is only suitable for some vehicles and setups, so we confirm suitability first.

Is MAF Delete right for my vehicle?

Individual ECU options are add-ons, normally carried out alongside a remap. Each one changes a specific part of the calibration, so whether it is suitable depends on your vehicle, its condition and how it is used.

We diagnose first so an option is never used to hide a fault that should be fixed, and we agree exactly what is being changed with you in advance.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have this option on its own?

These options are add-ons, normally carried out alongside a remap. Ask us about your vehicle and we will advise.

Will this affect my MOT?

Options that remove or alter emissions systems can cause an MOT failure or make a vehicle illegal on the road. Others do not affect emissions. We will tell you which applies before any work is agreed.

Do I need to tell my insurer?

Yes - any change to the ECU calibration is a modification and should be declared.

What happens during a diagnostic check?

We connect to your vehicle, read any stored fault codes, review live data from the engine and its sensors, and record the results against your vehicle record. You get a clear explanation of what we found and what we recommend next.

Do I pay anything when I request a booking?

No. The online booking form sends us a request only. Our team contacts you to confirm suitability, price and a time, and nothing is booked or charged until that is agreed with you directly.

How long does an appointment take?

It depends on the vehicle and the work agreed. We give you an estimate when we confirm your booking, and we allow enough time for the diagnostic check so it is never rushed.
