I'm curious as to whether there's any relation to MAF failures and K&N air filters. I've got 182,000km on my 99.5 Jetta, and it's got the original MAF. Over the last few months my power has gone to pot, and I don't think it's the intake. I installed a K&N air filter last fall, and I wonder if the oil from the filter could have anything to do with a MAF failure? It looks like I may have overoiled the filter the last time I cleaned it (oil residue in the bottom of the airbox). Has anyone else seen any relation between the two? And yes, I have cleaned the MAF, twice. Very minor improvement in performance.
