I'm going to finally get around to opening up and cleaning the contacts on the air flow meter at the weekend.

I've searched, but can't find what people used to clean it. I see lots of references to carb cleaner and brake fluid but this seems to be more for the ISV (and I did use brake fluid when I cleaned mine).

I understand that the contacts in the air flow sensor are fairly delicate so I'm not convinced pouring brake fluid on them is the best thing. For people who have cleaned their air flow sensor contacts - what did you clean them with?

Dave,

Mine was done with Contact Cleaning Spray. Its especially for electronicals. My specialist did it recently, a gentle spray, then a clean cotton cloth to lightly dab away any residue.

Don't use WD40 !

OK - stupid question then - where do you get contact cleaning spray? Halfords?

Halfords should sell it or an electrical store such as Maplins.

ian c - u.k

or high-end audio shops sell stuff called kontakt or something like that , for use on rca leads etc.
