I need a new MAF for my ride...

My car has been under performing for a while now and its stopped throwing codes BUT...

I did a MAF graph with a vag com buddy and at full throttle redline I was only reading 55 from the MAF...

When it should be in the 120 to 130 range... so that = new MAF

my question is on ecs how come this MAF for the ATW 00 engine is so much cheaper than the oem or remanufactured one??

anyone have any experience with it??

Cheap MAF

thanks

happy 06

 

did u buy ur car from a dealer? the MAF is under warranty up until 80K miles! They will only charge you 50$.

 

My car came with an 8 year extended engine warranty. its an 01.5 from a dealer, but i purchased it, warranty included from a non audi dealership. Would i be covered? im at 59,98x mi. No problems with mine, just curious.

 

yep the maf is emisions so its covered until 80k i believe. it only cost me 50$

 

Right on. That warranty has proven to be extensive (luckily havent used it yet) knock on wood.

 

I had a remanufactured MAF from ECS installed 10K mi. ago. So far so good.

 

I have a question about the MAF... Is it a part that either works 100%, or fails.. Or is it a part that can sometimes be funky like coil packs and the performance of it is sometimes there and sometimes not???? Hope you understand what im tryin to say.

 

As far as I know ..and from a letter from audi I printed out..MAFs and emissions based parts are covered only up to 70000mi in which I have 71000mi..so Im over

and if so anyway...if the dealership charges $50...thats only $5 less than the one on ecs...??

which is what I had the question about...

if the warrenty is 80k any proof??

 

call your local dealership and ask them. i am pretty sure its either 70 or 80k.

if they are nice they might let you slide even though your 1k miles above the 70k.

but check anyway.
