Is that your air filter that decayed like that. Where rodents living there ![]() Pls, before you even state your car problem, replace that air filter.. It costs #1,500 for a new one. Cheers |

That is not an air flow meter but an air filter. Change it asap, it's not expensive. |
Re: Air Filter/Flow by clemz85(m): 10:35am On Nov 10, 2014 |
thanks guyz, the thing is that the car is just a year old and it has been doing just fine, I never knew the air filter had decayed that way, i am currently experiencing a challenge which is, the car stalls at interval and does hard starting, so I decided to check what is there, pop it this morning and saw it. could the car stalling be related to that? of course I am changing it ryt now thanks again guyz |
Re: Air Filter/Flow by clemz85(m): 10:42am On Nov 10, 2014 |

lonelydora: he is right its the air flow meter check there is a connection wire on the top of the filter box thats the one that connects to the air flow meter 1 Like |

ZIMDRILL:I concur. |

ZIMDRILL: What I am seeing in the picture is the air filter, not the mass air flow meter. The MAF sits between the air filter and the injectors, and are much smaller than the filter. @OP, MAF sensor could stall your engine, but filter should not. |

That's an early Volkswagen engine, in a Golf or Passat. Depending on the type, it may not have an air flow / mass meter. What year is the car? |
Re: Air Filter/Flow by Nobody: 9:00am On Nov 11, 2014 |
clemz85: Get it right, bro. You confuse the heck out of people, when you say the car is a year old. Golf II or III can't be a year old. |
Re: Air Filter/Flow by Kashif(m): 9:14am On Nov 11, 2014 |
Siena: LOL! He means a year since he purchased the direct tokunbo. @OP, abeg answer our oga in your best interest o |
Re: Air Filter/Flow by ZIMDRILL(m): 1:26pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
Kashif: you are used to few or one type of an engine the air flow meter is always on the air intake pipes on average soon after the filter on the picture the flow meter is not there but you can see the wire were it get connected |
Re: Air Filter/Flow by clemz85(m): 3:49pm On Nov 11, 2014 |
Siena: oh! well twisted, a year old of what we calls direct tokombo, you are right, its 97 car but then some first grade OK cars we buy here serves pretty well a year or two before some issues you know though depending on individual maintenance culture. |

5 Most Common Air Filter Problems: Black Smoke in Exhaust If you are seeing black smoke exiting the exhaust pipe, this can be a symptom of a clogged air filter. With the reduced oxygen, the mixture will be too rich. In other words more fuel will be used in the combustion leading to black soot like residue being sent out of the exhaust. Rough Engine Noise If the engine sounds like it is missing or running roughly, it can be caused by spark plugs not firing. One cause of this is the spark plugs are not firing due to the head covered with black soot residue left on the spark lead from the rich fuel mixture – which is a result of a dirty or clogged air filter. Engine Back Firing If you hear the sound of an explosion or something that sounds like a gunshot coming from the exhaust pipe, this again is caused by the rich fuel mixture and some unused fuel exiting the engine into the exhaust system and then igniting from the heat. You might even see a flame at the end of the exhaust pipe. Again, probably caused by a air filter than needs to be replaced. Lower Gas Mileage With the lower oxygen in the mixture, the engine will use more fuel than needed to run the engine. This will cause the mileage per gallon ratio to decrease significantly. Smell of Gasoline in the Exhaust When starting the vehicle, if there is a smell of gasoline, this is again caused by the lack of air getting into the carburetor or fuel ejection system. With this reduced quantity of oxygen there will be fuel unneeded for the combustion being blown out in the exhaust. A simple item that often overlooked in the maintenance of a vehicle is so critical to its performance. Lower gas mileage, burnt parts, and even flames shooting out the rear of the vehicle can all be prevented from occurring. With a routine inspection and replacement of the air filter, you can increase your fuel efficiency and help the car run better and longer. 1 Like |
