I think you can clean the maf sensor with a specially spray (for electronics) and probably it will never damage.

I've had an apollo K&N on my 150PD (which as a diesel vibrated like hell from the off) and at 25k+ have now problems???
May well be lucky, but wouldnt want to scar you and spoil your fun... do it

I think they are made by Blitz, and yes they are meant to be complete crap at filtration..
Hks is a strange kinda foam filter but not oiled.
In the jap world they are regarded as 1 of the best at filtration.

and, according to the thread i posted above, there is absolutely no proof whatsoever that oiled filters cause MAF failure. and anybody that says otherwise should take it up with K&N as they are getting very shitty and overprotective about these claims of MAF damage.....
....its up to you who you believe!!

Simple fact.
BUT... and there is one. Oil contamination of MAF's and subsequent failure as said by Bosch themselves is oil breather system venting into the air tract. DV blows these fumes around and you can and do get an oily MAF despite a totally clean inlet side to it.. only engine side is oily..
