Project: RS2 ABY

Good that you've fixed it anyway, with no boost leaks the MAF was the most likely thing.

MAF was used, i needed one at very short notice for when Dmitri was over so gladly took one off the shelf at VRS.

Shame it's only lasted a few k miles though.

I live in hope that i can find someone to just get the sensor, not the full MAF housing combined.

Now you have a spare you can get the exchange one, ask Jamo where he got his from, I'm sure it was only about £70?

IT'S ALIVE!!!

Thanks to AndyP I received a brand new RS4 MAF on loan to test out last week.

As my MAF housing is sealed into my RS2 airbox i was reluctant to remove it to just replace the entire MAF, so I embarked upon trying to just replace the sensor, thinking i could just remove it with my security torx heads in my socket set.

It turns out it's not your standard security torx at all, and after being unable to find the correct type in Halfords realised the bolts are infact a T25 5-tip security torx, which appear to be ultra rare, but thanks to Amazon i had a set delivered this afternoon.

I can confirm the MAF sensor PN is F 00C 2G2 047.

Glad to have helped

Was your MAF an original Bosch one or one from Ebay?

[Sonic]

Good news!

It's called resistorx btw

Bit bloody late but thanks

So, it's definitely the MAF?

Nope, can't say that until the car is pressure tested.

[Sonic]

Absolutely.

I was hoping to just find the sensor blade but it doesn't look likely.

I wouldn't buy a cheap pattern part, it will undoubtedly be ****.... you get what you pay for

[Ross]

The ebay one isn't Bosch. If it was it would say so as it would be a bargain...

Plus on their website the SKU is a £45 MAF made by someone else. They sell the Bosch one for £99 with a £24 reimbursement on return of the old - so £9 cheaper than GSF.

Personally I'd order the GSF one to my local store but I have the luxury of it being 5mins from the station on my way home...

I have a maf down at ish's if you want it sonic .

[Sonic]

Nope wouldn't know who to contact lol.
