ok i've done a search and not tht much comes up apart from people saying there Mass air flow meter is f***d
took my car to vauxhall yesterday, and there 90% certain this needs to be replaced on my car as its hesitating a generally being a pain.... though they want £250.00 for 1!
just wondered if any1 knew where i could get one from cheap? I was thinkin scrappies but if this part goes regularly it's pretty likely one from a scrappies will be broke 2...... is there anything i can do to clean / fix the current one i have got or is it an unserviceable part?
the car is a corsa b v reg 2000 plate - 1.2 16v ecotec btw
any help appreciated

i have recently bought a c20xe and the air flow metre is also fuckd, if u look down the tube you can see a coil, bit like a light buld, well mine has snapped i presume this is how they all break, just fatigue after time, all i can suggest is go look round the scrappies take it off and check the coil to see if its broken or not, i have managed to pick one up for 15pounds so i still have a stiffy.

a lot of people call them air flow meters, rather than mass air things... anyway - mine's fucked at the moment and my old one was fucked that I replaced...
They go quite often on 1.2 16vs

Before coughing up try cleaning it with carb cleaner - gave mine an extra 3 months of life

Erm... carb cleaner is supposed to DAMAGE the hot wire element in air mass meters!!!!! 
That's why with 10k Boost they tell you to spray it after any sensors/meters.
Normally when people claim the airfilter they've fitted has damaged their air mass meter, it's actually the excess oil they sprayed on that's go onto the element and caused it to burn itself out.
