mass air flow replacement

hi,
I have bought a replacement mass air flow meter for my astra 1.7dti..I am a
bit of a DIY man! and this looks easy enough to do BUT do I need to
disconnect the battery? i don't think I do.How does the electric cable come
away from the unit.. Do I just pull it off? looks that way to me but thought
I would ask someone who knows before I risk doing any damage.Thanks for any
advise.

 

Just out of interest, what symptoms are you having, with your believed to be
faulty mass air flow meter?

Thanks

Rich

 

just had a quick look in my favs, there is a site/messge board that has a
very nice guide somewhere.
p'haps someone else has it listed?

engine is unresponsive below 2000 revs and lacks power when pulling
off..feels like the turbo not working.car has done 80000 miles,over last 4
years i have done 50000 of these.car used to drive OK.someone told me this
unit was the problem.

 

Just a thought, but try removing the air filter and going for a quick blat.

just wanted a tip in getting the electric cable/conector off without
damaging it..
