    RS2 MAF plastic Grilles ?

    As per title, can these be bought separately, and if so do they have a part number ?

    Wanted to fit them to my S2 MAF ?

    Please see the photo in post # 2 of this thread by "Prj", thanks,

    Andy, has K24R considered making these up if they cannot currently be bought separately ?

    Any thoughts or contributions to these queries very welcome.

    Thanks.

    Just get the standard S2 MAF and remove the mesh grills !
    What do the plastic RS2 grills do anyway apart from stop you poking your finger in and braking the wire when fitting it. Any object could get through the RS2 grill and brake the wire anyway so why have it .

      They stabilise airflow, so that the MAF reads correctly.

          AFAIK - they cannot be bought separately... Ask Mr K24R if he thinks he can source or build something - nice way to upgrade a plain old S2 MAF into seksy RS2 MAF - and double its value - LOL

            If I remember right, there is a air stabilation grille before the stock maf also but it is in the airduct/airbox.

              You might be right actually - its quite a wide mesh though - I cannot remember how it compares with RS2 MAF mesh.

                Maybe on the aftermarket. Here the RS2 MAF is 25% cheaper from the dealer than the S2 MAF, because it is used on Porsche as well and produced in larger quantities.

                  Prj,

                  Can I ask you how much the ADU one costs in euros in your country?

                  Thanks.

                      The prices are variable with source and territory. I bought an rs2 one for about 120 quid a couple years back from vagparts when the s2 one was nearer 200 at the time.

                        About 210 euros after haggling.
                        This is from Audi main dealer, NOT from bosch.

                        Ask Audi, not Bosch.

                          Why? Bosch is still cheaper than the dealer
