Is the AF meter that thin hook in the housing on the left side of the engine bay just after the air filter box?

What kind of spray should one use?

That is the one, sits near the airbox and is black plastic with a wiring lions plug into it. Remove sensor and Spray with Airflow meter Spray from Repco or Autobarn, about $15 per can. Let it dry for 5 mins or so, install and drive around slowly for 2pmins while ECU self learns

OP had same issue. I think all H6 owners should consider a regular MAF clean

Libz05, DO NOT touch the sensor. You spray directly onto the sensor itself and let it dry on its own accord.

I assume your typo meant 20 minutes of driving?

I bought a can from Autobarn. Says to apply 10-15 sprays. Does that mean 10-15 quick bursts of spray?

Also, is it OK to spray it in the evening , let it dry, and then drive the car first thing in the morning?

Correct, a few bursts of spray to get the filth off

Even spray nd drive the next day is fine too :)

I caught up with Bryce last week and he loaded a basic 3.0 tune to my 04 wagon and it has improved the car so much!
It's much smoother on the power and a lot more fun to drive. I'm waiting for Matt to come to Melbourne and tune it to my car, but even with the basic tune it's amazing!

If only! That's probably more me than the tune though... I like boost!

I did get it down to 8.8L/100KM last time I did a decent drive (approx. 275km, mostly freeway or 100km/h cruising), but most of the time with my drive to and from work it sits between 14 - 16L :(
