INFO-> 740 AFTER 8-98 MAF info, All part numbers and the VW MAF

I have been looking into the MAF story and this is what I found out and have confirmed.

It saves you a lot of $ to do it this way!

OK there are a few ways to find the MAF you need:
Bosch # 0280218002 (for VW)
VW # 06a906461a
Bosch sensor # that is in your car now: F00C2G2029 and is replaced/superseded with the F00C2G2032

Here are a few pics of the VW MAF and the sensor.

The sensor

Old and new

The VW sensor can be found at autohauz for a little over $70, just swap the sensor and drive!

Although a bad sensor does not have to throw a code, the check engine light can come on, without giving the MAF code.
Other codes that can be solved with a new MAF are Adaptive Value Bank 1 & 2

Also changing an aging MAF can help you reduce the MPG by as much as 20%, this also goes for the O2 sensors.

Bosch states that the MAF and O2 sensors are usable goods and not replacement parts, they advise to change them is every 70-80k, and it will impact the MPG and the way the car feels and responds to the throttle.

Max @ oembimmerparts has great prices for the O2 sensors, he maybe even start to stock the VW MAF
