bungy 2 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Whilst surfing and generally learning and reading i've come across discussions on the components on MAFs. More importantly the cheaper and later 2.0 mafs that although the housing is a different size, the sensor itself is the same Bosch item as a mk3 vr6 and is considerably cheaper. Anyone else heard, read or tried this? Might be of interest and save some people money. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 theres threads on vortex and i checked this when my maf gave up the ghost, mine was totally different part no and looked different too. I came to the conclusion that the mk4 12v VR6 in US got the same maf as the mk4 2.0. mine uses the newer hot film type too that mk4s use, not the old hot wire.On the plus the MAF i bought wasnt that expensive ~£50 from TPS if you give them your old one, £130 just to buy one Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 So there is something to it then? But maybe only for certain a certain type.... Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 yea, but maybe it only applies to US, these posts were from 2003 so very long time ago and seems VW have since done something about it in an effort to not give anyone a cheap deal http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?773176 Link to post Share on other sites
