    Default Another CEL code

    Unfortunately I only have access to an OBDII scanner and not a Vag-Com. The code is P0100 Mass or volume air flow circuit malfunction. Could this be due to a dirty MAF sensor?

    MAF cleaner from CFC or equivalent. Do not wipe off or try to mechanically clean it. Just let it dry and put it back in service.
