C180k air mass filter. After market?
Hi everyone,
Just wondering if anyone knows why there seems to be no after market MAF's for the c180k.
OR..
How much should I expect to pay retail and where is the best place to pick one up?
Or...
Is it worth looking second hand?
Thanks in advance.

What I am trying to say is: No, there is no aftermarket version available.
I checked all the usual german places, and the OEM one is all that is available. If there was one, teiledirekt.de, maf-shop.com or te-taxiteile would surely have it in stock, since M271 is one of the most common engine options.
How do you know yours is broken? It is not as common a problem as on the M111 and other Motronic engines.

List price from european stealerships is around 400 EUR or about 520 USD.
No, it is not a consumable part. You can do some measurements with a voltmeter before shelling out:
Output on the brown wire from MAF, nr3 pin is as follows:
0g/s = 0 Volts (ignition on, engine stopped)
3g/s = 0.5 V (warm idle, lights and AC off)
5g/s = 0,9 V (warm idle, AC+fan on 6, high+low beam lights)
If you have an obd2 reader, you can do measurements under various other loads, observing how the MAF grams/second figure follow the RPM and MAP figures

Thanks so much. I've been quoted about 600 (Aus) fitted, so I guess that's pretty good, though I can do it myself perfectly well. Might have to go buy a voltmeter. Would you think a second hand MAF is a bad idea?

It's not a 5 minute job like on M11x

THANKYOU, THANKYOU, THANKYOU!!
THAT THREAD IS A LIFESAVER. I will of course check the readings, yes, but figured I'd clean it first. Odd decision. I was thinking it came out super easy. discovered quickly as per thread, alcohol and time required.
So appreciative
