so it's not actually happened to you and you can't actually prove that the MAF's failed because of the filter. my car has a MAF thingy. it to if you use an overoiled filter can cause trouble however this does not happen with factory oil filters and it don't happen on other cars as well.

i have replaced my MAF due to it failing. I changed my induction kit straight after. Others have used oiled filters and suffered failures of the MAF

MAF's fail even when you have a normal paper element in them. MAF went on my brother in laws leon cupra and it's standard.

Yes they do fail, even on a standard car, i will admit that, as well as your point of heavilyoiled filters causing the failures too. Oil from K&N and piperx filters, for example, will no matter what get through and onto the MAF given time. A build up of oil will eventually cause a failure, even from lightly oiled filters. It may not happen straight away, it may not happen at all but im speaking from experience and with the knowledge from several other audi owners who have suffered exactly the same

I am speaking from the knowledge of several seat, VW, Skoda owners. maybe your just unlucky and had an overoiled filter from the factory

It is not beyond possibility that we were all unlucky, it just seems to be too much of a coincidence that people with oiled filters seem to suffer more than others.
