QUICK: MAF question.

[RedRocket]

Will a MAF from a 99 A4 AEB in my 97 A4 AEB?

[Saturnine]

It should.

[98a4]

I would think so... Far as I know, there was no change to the MAF in the AEB's

[Daft]

I'm not sure what the differences are but, there's 2 different MAFs for AEB cars:

Bosch part #0 280 217 117 = AEB engine code, from VIN #W 080 001 (98.5+)

Bosch part #0 280 217 112 = AEB engine code, up to VIN #W 080 000 (before 98.5)

[RedRocket]

SO with a K04 setup, is this the one I need?

Bosch part #0 280 217 117 = AEB engine code, from VIN #W 080 001 (98.5+)

My car is 97.

pretty sure you want the newer one as the posts i have seen about the 97 mafs is that they are just about as bad as the 2000 maf which have been recalled.

Recalled? So if I go to Audi they will give me another one?

Also, the posts I have been reading say that the newer MAF's are ok. Humm, I'm confused now.

Can anyone with a K04 vouch for this part? Bosch part #0 280 217 117 = AEB engine code, from VIN #W 080 001 (98.5+)

Here's the part # you need 037906461C you can get it from a 97-98 2.0 Golf/Jetta if your getting a used one same part # or you can get a rebuilt from the dealer for about $80.00 just add a X to the part# if you want the rebuilt.

2000 ones are worse if you are buying used they were recalled.

i had problems with my MAF on my 97 with my K04 so i used the part # that Burnt gave me and it worked just fine (thanks again bro)

i found this place in CT thats got a bunch of them for cheap, got mine shipped for under $50
M&J auto recycling 1800 926 0281

give em a call see if they can get you one

the year 2000 MAF's were not recalled - not in Canada anyway. Audi actually extended the warranty on them (and some other years as well) to 7 years and 100,000km iirc. they'll only replace it if you have a problem with it. I recently had mine replaced when my car threw a CEL and they traced it to a bad MAF.

No I like flowers. I like Air flow Meters more though. Ok can you do me a favour? DO you know the name or local number for that place so I can dial it long distance?

G-low,

Thanks man I appreciate your help. I actually found a local place (happends to be an APR dealer) around here. With the help of Burnt, I was able to get them the right rebuild part number of the MAF. Picked one up for about $70. Thanks for your help. I be sending you flowers later bro

[G-low]
