mat-ryder 2 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 Is there any difference between the OBD1 and OBD2 MAF's. If so are they easy to tell apart??Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 there are two types of MAF, a six pin and a four pin one. Not necessarily linked with the OBD level. Very early OBD1s used the six pin. Later OBD1 and OBD2 use the four pin. Both OBD1 and OBD2 4 pin models are the same. Link to post Share on other sites

11redrex 0 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Just to stick me nose in....I recently fitted a MAF sensor from a Mk4 golf 1.8t into the housing on my VR6 Sharan. Works a treats and they're cheaper than the standard ones. Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 yep, now you've mentioned it I have heard of it before. I guess it replaces the 4 pin one. Link to post Share on other sites
Rikki 2 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Thought the 1.8t maf thing thats mentioned alot is for the 24v v6. The standard mafs have drastically dropped in price, iirc they used to be £321 i got a recent price from vw of £65 exchange?????? Link to post Share on other sites

mattp1983 0 Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 No the OBD1 and 2 MAFs are not the same (the 4 pin ones I mean) They carry different part numbers and if an OBD2 part is used with an OBD1 car then it will not idle, I know this from direct experience. The end part of the part number differs between the 2, incidentally the OBD1 part is dealer only whereas the OBD2 equivelalent is available through GSF. The 6 pin MAFs come on early cars, usually the dizzy models. Link to post Share on other sites
