Bit of Info about MAF sensors

[Waylander]

Ok after a small ruckus on another forum I have been researching MAF sensors from Bosch

our cars use a Bosch MAF 0 280 213 017 this is a very expensive part and is prone to contamination especially from over oiled K&N filters

during my efforts to find an alternative I found the following information.

so with a little more research and asking a few questions in other places the numbers starting from 0 280 213 007 all measure the same amount of Air Mass (KG/Hour) the only difference is mountings and connection type

so a replacement for ours would possibly be 0 280 213 007 off a Volvo 940 brand new at £63.00 instead of 0 280 213 017 at £830.00!

this was all kicked off by a guy repairing his with a bit of copper wire when he broke his cleaning it, which worked by the way, he reports much better throttle response with a new wire???

Bosch Short Code for this part is HLM-2-18 this is a list of all other MAF with the same short code


BOSCH 0 280 212 016 Air Mass Sensor
BOSCH 0 280 212 019 Air Mass Sensor
BOSCH 0 280 212 024 Air Mass Sensor
BOSCH 0 280 213 012 Air Mass Sensor this looks a good candidate
BOSCH 0 280 213 017 Air Mass Sensor
BOSCH 0 280 213 021 Air Mass Sensor
BOSCH 0 280 213 025 Air Mass Sensor

You have far too much time on your hands Martin []!!

All 968 owners should be thankful for that - me included!!

When I eventually pick my one up, I guess that'll include me too [8|]! I was starting to get acquainted with my 944 Turbo (courtesy of Jon' Mitchell) when I spat my dummy out and sold Him []!! God knows why. I spent a small fortune on him and, everyone told me not to, but did I listen? I wish I hadn't sold Him now but, as they say," hindsight is a beautiful thing" [8|]. Anyway, I am looking forward to owning a 968 and learning all about them. I'll probably be asking you and Martin dozens of idiot questions over the first few weeks of ownership [][].

Just a quick update

one purchased for £33 direct fit, improvement in pedal response and smoother idle

no idea if its had an effect on CO2 or mpg

but it's a house in Newcastle cheaper than a genuine Porsche one

Or, a complete housing estate in Merthyr Tydfil...[].
