my high and low mixtures were off and after talking w/ other shops they all told me to do this, if you can get live data on whatever tool ur using u'll see that ur maf is goin bad. i reset my self adaption and it seems to be doin fine, this isn't a performace upgrade, i did this to simply repair my bad maf the insert is the same but the housing is different. you think BOSCH makes different parts for every car? no they don't

I'm getting a CEL issue. supposedly the issue is an air/fuel mixture issue. would this resolve it??

MBHustla858,
Very interesting discovery! How did you determine which VW/Audi sensor to use to replace your MAF sensor? For example I run a MB Part 000 094 05 048 in my 1996 C36. How would you determine what would be compatible with this application?

As long as the openings and operations are the same I don't see a problem. You are likely getting the performance that you were suppossed to. I don't think that you would be getting increased air flow though.
He is right, Bosch and other companys make lots of parts that are common to different chassis.

it could be, but w/ o live date you are really just guessing, if u do in fact need a MAF get the audi part and insert it into ur maf.

urs takes a round connector... i know there is a different MAF to use there too but im not sure which one it exactly is.... i work at a shop and been talkin w/ other shops... who have done this and not have customer comebacks... thought i'd give this a whirl.......

pretty interesting... its kinda like... 1fastc32 using a ford intercooler pump to replace the stock one that is prone to failure...
Did you have to modify the thing at all? was it a direct fit? which audi car does it come off of?

I would try the CRC MAF Cleaner first......for $7.00 you can't beat it.
