Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Gentlemen, I was checking levels in my daughters 02 Audi TT Quattro 180HP this weekend and could not help but notice the MAF on her engine appears to be the same as on my 01 996. Is this possible? I did not pull it to look for part numbers, but it looked identical. Would any of you have access to part numbers from both marques? Maybe we could buy our MAF's from the local VW dealer and avoid the dreaded Porsche parts house markup.

POST 2Original post

PAG is using Bosch, and so Audi, VW and Benz. The pin out could be different, but it would be great to get a handful for a $100.

POST 3Original post

i'm curious as to see the price difference between the three... i should call up vw and ask how much they charge for their mas sensor vs porsche if it really is the same part... if it's alot more, i'd be pretty upset at porsche for inflating the price dramatically for more profit...

POST 4Original post

That style Bosch air flow sensor is used on many makes. They may look the same, but they are not. For example, the Boxster air flow sensor has had 4 different part numbers depending on the year and DME used. If you want to replace your sensor by buying one from an aftermarket company then this is fine. Boxster owners do this and there is much info on renntech. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...topic=659&st=0 I have been making a list of the Bosch part numbers that are printed on the Boxster sensors. Bosch uses a 10 digit part number starting with a 0.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
