Before getting all excited, what IS the problem with the MAF?
Fault code and related explanation.

What demand sticks at 327 what's?

Hi , on the forscan Readings there is maf reading the air flow and the maf demand reading the air flow is working , but the air flow on demand is staying on at a constant 327 thanking you john

When reving the engine the air mas flow works but the demanding air works and then bocks and compacates with the air flow

"bocks and compacates"..?? What's that mean..??

Unless the engine is under load, the desired figures won't change much.

As knobby said, your comment doesn't make sense.
Static revving won't change stuff drastically, under load where it is demanding more air and fuel is where you would really see differences.

If you're worried about airflow restriction, then pop the lid off the air filter box as long as the area and environment are relatively dust free.
Run the engine and see if the readings are different with the air filter both in and out of the system.

When were the learns last done.?? MAF sensors rarely fail...it's usually the wiring to/from them not happy. Faulty EGR valves can throw MAF/MAP sensor fault codes.

I'm a bit confused...You talk of 2 new sensors on the CAT, the cats don't have sensors, unless you're talking about DPF..?? If that's the case it's a Euro-5 and they don't have a DPF...unless you have one of the very rare Euro-4's with a DPF. Reading earleir in the thread, it seems you do have one of the very rare Euro-4 DPF machines.
