Hello all ,
Had the misfortune of the mass air flow sensor on my MG ZT CDTI failing while on the outside lane of the M40 last weekend , as you can imagine the sudden loss of power caused me to say a few choice words . Managed to get it onto the hard shoulder and ring the RAC , the guy managed to diagnoise the problem within the hour and disconnected the mass air flow sensor . He advised that the ZT would run quicker with the sensor disconnected and to get it replaced asap . Going to book the car in this week to get it replaced at £180. My question is however does it need replacing ???? The ZT runs great with it disconnected ,very smooth and with that bit of extra power , would leaving the sensor disconnected cause any long term damage ????
Cheers.
