    Power problems when accelerating hard

    Hi Guys, thanks for further input into this problem, the air filters have never been over oiled, just a very light spray, then allow to dry off whipping off any excess before fitting back in the car, today I've checked the MAF sensor (as we have done previously), super clean, no dirt or any sign...
